One day after disaster, the city is still recuperating from its August 29 wounds. While there are plenty of feel-good messages encapsulating the spirit of this resilient city, there is still a lot required before we can recover.

We need the civic authorities, police personnel and volunteers to carry strong illumination devices, these can be headlamps, powerful torch beams or something that will help light the way for stranded commuters who are left to fend for themselves in the dark.
