On a slightly different note - with the devastation wrought on the forests and off farm tree cover - would there be possibilities for aerial re-seeding of select tree species that would help with nutrition (moringa etc.) live stock fodder (leceanea etc.) and woodfuel (there is a huge selection).
Naturally the environmental is not as critical as clean water during the first weeks of a natural disaster but if reafforestation could piggybacked onto existing efforts it would help alot in the long run I believe.
