Cronkite is buried in Missouri. He can show you.

Wouldn't be those.

Talked with a guy last night that volunteers with ISOH/IMPACT. They've sent out 15 semi trailers of various things to the Sandy relief. The first of their trucks left prior to Sandy making land contact. On a semi-related note: ISOH/IMPACT has over 200,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space to fill with relief goods in preparation for disasters. Prior to Katrina making landfall, they were mobilizing and trained volunteers were North of New Orleans waiting for the storm to hit. They had semi trailers en route. Much of the time, supplies are brought out and then distributed by the Red Cross. So, yeah, private charities can be a huge bonus to disaster recovery, and can even be ready ahead of an actual disaster. This won't alleviate the need for Governmental help, but it may mitigate it.

We are talking about millions of people spread over multiple states. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.. and I am sure they are seen as a bonus to the effort. But there is no way they could replace FEMA.

Hmmm.. oddly enough I was one of the few who actually said he did some good. So why dont you take your sarcasm and direct it towards someone who didnt. Reading more might help you look more informed.

Thats only part of the problem with replacing FEMA.
