I'm guessing a lot longer than that. When Andrew hit Florida, plywood prices 1800 miles away almost tripled. (and we make it here)
They don't have an infrastructure to build onto. All the gas, power, phones etc, no longer exist. What are you going to hook up too??
This will take years.
I would keep the people out for as long as it takes to have the really big equipment to get their jobs done. ie... don't allow them back for maybe a year. During that time, let the dozers and big crews get the heavy lifting done. It's a lot easier to tear up and replace a road when you don't have to detour or reroute traffic or worry about live wires, just tear it up and build.
If a 12 man crew can install the infrastructure to a new 50 house sub division in about 8-10 weeks, imagine what 15,000 National Guard, the SeeBeas and huge equipment can get done. They can work 24 hours a day.
