Let's say, for an example sake, that there is a flood in my
area. Let's further suppose that I have no food stored, or that my
house has been flooded and food is destroyed.

I have a family to feed. I break into a closed food store and
steal food. Have I committed an immoral act?

No. You have committed a crime, but the circumstances might favor your
being excused for committing it. You might also earn some "Brownie points"
in the future by making restitution if/when you are able to do so.
