Helping with food supplies as well as physical work, the top image depicts a woman standing holding a few bags of food, whether she is collecting it up or bringing it to people, as you can see women were still expected to dress well, her hair is nicely pinned and she is flashing a smile to the photographer. The bottom image, you can see two women hard at work using the fire hose to put out some smoldering wreckage.
