I'm not saying the problems aren't serious, ... But this is not a humanitarian crisis in the sense that you have in Rwanda and the Balkans and Macedonia.

We're not saying we've got a crisis on our hands. We're just saying that, you know, as more and more wireless devices get on more and more airplanes, sooner or later we're going to have a problem.

We face structural problems which go far beyond any short-term crisis,

We emphasize placing people in safe and affordable housing as an immediate response to their crisis and then ensure that the necessary supports are in place to sustain their housing so they don't become homeless again.

So we are not saying goodbye forever, ... We are saying we will see you later.

Unlike war or famine, there are no pictures of devastation or bloodshed with this water crisis.
