Easy,
Correct from a military PoV, but not necessarily from the public/politicos. The loss of mil SAR in 2016 will increase pressure on the govt to provide visible assistance to the civil authority (thanks for the correction!) and I'm sure (in the same way we couldn't wait to get Sentinel to Mali) RW assets would be released far more often (as they were at Boscastle, Foot and Mouth, Pan Am 747 etc) to fix the capability in public minds and make reduction harder.
