Actually, no, their obligation to the public and staff should be the same as any other human being. They did nothing more than what one should have been doing and, frankly, none of what they did is surprising.
Now, if you were to tell me that they were in the midst of setting up some sort of centralized database to help gather and disseminate contact information for people who are affected by the quake then, yes, that is amazing.
I call it fan-boism when one sets a pretty low bar for a multi-billion dollar company to hand out a few charge-ups and open a few hours later. Think Different, folks.
