First: This image has powerful emotion and good composition. The fact that the moment is between neighbors shows a nuance of the positive community environment after a natural disaster.
Second: The reflection of the scene creates a very graphic photo that looks cinematic.
Third: We liked that the rope leads the viewer into the scene. The photographer was present at the right moment and figured out how to position themselves in an emergency situation.
