Yes, you need to check the time-line. I thought Jim didn't find Blair until the 5th day, a day back to the others, wasn't it two days before they found Simon? One day or two before the accident that killed Simon? You already used the phrase "week and a half" for the possible survivor in the ruined house; you can't go back and make this less time. So, you need to go back and make a time-line, then keep adding to it.
(When you make it, send it to me, and I'll make sure you stay on track)
surviving -- if the man had minimal movement, but *couldn't escape*, and there was a source of water for him, he could easily last two or three weeks. Say, a break-room area, with large jugs of water for the bottled-water dispenser. If he had a badly-broken leg or something, he could drag himself to the water (maybe a snack machine, too?) and still be alive, but now the leg has turned gangrenous and it's in the last stages...
