[People trapped in the proverb

 [People trapped in the city are] in desperate need of water and supplies, ... We are ferrying them in as much as we can, but it's unfathomable.

 It's clear that the people are in desperate need, ... They have no food, no water, no power, no phone service. They're in danger of losing their lives trapped in their attics.

 These walls are 18 inches thick and adequate shelter. There were medical supplies, food and water to sustain whoever was trapped here in a nuclear war that had to be cleared out.

 City of Reno officials are urging residents and business owners in flood-prone areas in the city to take precautions not only by sandbagging, but also by having extra food, water and other supplies.

 Mr. President, haven't you been watching the news? Katrina hit New Orleans five days ago. The city is flooded. Many people are homeless, desperate for food and water. They're wondering why it's taking so long for the government to send help.

 With supplies, that is where financial contributions come into play. Supplies have to be constantly replenished. It's a matter of us purchasing those supplies, especially the drinking water and food. The little things are important while the search and rescue is going on.

 [People begged for water, he said. In some parts of the city,] if you had a $100 in one hand and bottled water in the other, people would kill for the water, ... People were frying in their own sweat.

 Many people are weakened by hunger. He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. They can no longer walk long distances to fetch water. They often become desperate and drink dirty water, which leads to sickness and death.

 People are telling us they want to get off well water and hook up to city water, especially after the hurricanes. When our customers lose electricity, they still have water. People want their showers.

 Since the hurricane, there is a new 'normal' in Baton Rouge. We have become Louisiana's largest city. We went from 350,000 to 600,000 in a few days. There is gridlock at many intersections as New Orleans people struggle in a new city. There have been rumors of increased crime, desperate people wandering the streets.

 Good will has real value and needs to be nurtured. The city uses water largely to process the crops that are grown on farms. Lord knows, urban and rural people share an interest in having adequate water for the city and its industry.

 Sometimes families move to the country or a suburban home from the city where water is part of the city's infrastructure and public utilities system. Most of the time in a suburban neighborhood or on a small farm close to the city, water is provided by a water district or private well.

 The price of a bottle of water for every person in the United States is about what this mission will cost. Just one bottle of water. And yet the information we get about water supplies, the water cycle of the planet, I think is priceless.

 These people are just devastated because they have family members that are still trapped. The water was still rising and they're worried about those they know were there.

 The water was up, there was nothing to do, all nine or 10 of us in there, just wanting [drinking] water. We had a small supply, but we knew it wouldn't last. So when the water went down enough to walk, I waded out to look for supplies.
