11. It only says "...get off my back", nothing about pulling out of water.

Actually, if the rescuing service is left to private industry, that would be a lucrative time to negotiate. "If you want our company to pull you out of there, you have to sign over everything you own. This conversation will be recorded".

May be it's good to form Pain Capital to invest in private rescuing companies for time like this. Abolish FEMA, reducing funding to states. Then have Pain Capital companies going around doing business during disasters.
