The effects of the deceased on the living
". . . decomposing corpses are 'only a danger to public health if the victim dies of an infectious disease' and that the threat posed by the bodies of victims of trauma - typically the major cause of death in natural disasters - is 'negligible.'"

Flooding leading to the spread of disease (see prior entry) is a much more serious concern than the corpses themselves.
