How many injured eventually die
is a function of hospital capacity
and the efficiency of paramedics
and rescue teams. The other four
statuses imply that people so
classified do not need immediate
medical. In the short term
Missing convert to other statuses.
Longer term missing are almost
always dead. Homeless means no
shelter and no food. Hungry
means have shelter but no food.
Water and warmth may still be
problems. After the first few days
there are threats of epidemics of
cholera, dysentery and other
diseases.
