I think that on a personal level one must allow the Clean Up is the order of the day, and the first thing to do is clean away the corpses. Sometimes, one just has to lime the whole area and bulldoze it. The decision to do so is political, however, because of the anxious survivors looking for relatives. However, in terms of Health and Safety, there has to be a period of painstaking inspection of each house, and each car. Ordinary humans with no safety gear on should not do this. Corpses have a use by date, after which the public should not be allowed to touch them - for safety reasons. The pathogens of dead bodies are particularly toxic. This is a valid reason for a shut-down.
Through the FB grapevine I saw that the help agencies (cough: FEMA) are completely corrupt, and come armed with sign-away-the-property paperwork, so that one can never get it back. So it is a landgrab, for sure.
So the people must rely on local grass-roots groups for humanitarian aid. If you have FB, here is a local - who has contacts to share for money or other donations. She recommends using Personal Delivery via the mail. Diapers, Wipes and Formula, and food deliveries via amazon to Maui FoodBank. An impromptu pepe staging area near the roadblocks at the entry of Laihana for physical deliveries. Any bulk supplies are very hard to get through.

Locals have set up starlink.
