Fema was praised after its quick response after hurricane Sandy? Maybe by the Obama fawning media but certainly not by the people affected by the hurricane.

And if the Waffle House is the only thing standing, and serving the survivors for free?

He can’t look around and see there are no houses and figure out how serious the emergency is?

Waffle houses? This is stupid. Fugate is has clearly risen to his level of incompetence and beyond.

FEMA is a COS in cahoots with Red Cross.

The article also notes Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot as companies with good disaster preparedness.

As an example, I was in South Texas with my family some years ago. A hurricane was heading in, so we cut our vacation short and headed north. Upon stopping at a Walmart several hours out of the target area, I noticed that their parking lot had a couple dozen parked semi-trailers. I believe that these were supplies ready to be quickly trucked in to wherever the storm ended up coming in. The store itself had pallets and pallets of batteries and lanterns and other items which you would expect people to want in a disaster.

Free Enterprise - where people can plan ahead to help other people in search of profit. This may sound bad to some, but I can think of no better method for ensuring that supplies are available when and where needed.
