The road collapse definitely damaged gas and water lines and those services have been shut off. The sewer lines also appear to have been compromised. Current estimate is that it may take 40 days before the residents can return to their homes.
One piece of good news however is that the residents were allowed briefly into their homes yesterday morning to pick up any items that they will need in the meantime (this doesn't always happen in those kinds of disasters!).

Glad to hear that! Medications, among other things, are important. And also pets!
