imbalance

How should the situation where men outnumber women by a vast majority in a disaster area be treated? For example, we have recently heard about the gender imbalance in the Aceh region. The majority of the dead in the Asian tsunami disaster were women and children, so there are now many men without wives. What are the roles of Muslim governments and Muslims in general in this urgent crisis?

Due to the fact that the majority of dead in the Asian tsunami disaster were women and children, there are now many men without wives. Did such a thing ever happen in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the four rightly guided caliphs? What are the roles of Muslim governments and Muslims in general in this urgent crisis?
