If the initial responders can get in, save lives, mitigate whatever flooding danger there is, that means the other groups can get in to restore the water, the roads, the electricity, which means then the construction people, the insurance agents, all of them can get in to rebuild the houses, which then means you can restore the economy, and maybe even make it better and more resilient to the next disaster.
Kad bi početni odaziv stigao, spasio živote ublažio prisutne opasnosti poplave, druge grupe bi mogle prići vratiti vodu, ceste, struju. Što znači da građevinari,  osiguravatelji, svi oni bi mogli prići i  obnoviti kuće, što znači da je moguće obnoviti  ekonomiju, a možda i poboljšati i učiniti  otpornijom na sljedeću katastrofu.
