Reply #14: Body cleanup, water decontamination, lost wages

Desalination plants if there were any.

Most coastal regions depend on those 200 yards for their livelihood. Casinos, resorts, boats, equipment, docks, warehouses for shipping, bulkheads, seawalls... that's a lot of lost wages in a region without a lot of wages. Not to mention a lost food supply for millions. Coasts are also the main link in the transportation of goods and foods, and with the damage to the docks and boats, it will take more than the price of a below-average house in Austin, Texas, to clean up this mess.

You don't just grab a shovel to bury 23,000 bodies. Or however many they find.

A ton of bucks will be barely a start.
