I realize that the relief effort was slow at first...
but isn't there a period of assessment in the initial hours after something like this?
They don't just rush trucks and support in without knowing the conditions on the ground, like flooded streets, blocked roads, etc.
IMO, there needs to be a massive storage facility and airport in the central US to be ready at the snap of a finger to provide relief efforts within 24 hours of something bad happening.
It would be stocked with more than a million military ready to eat meals, water, vaccinations, antibiotics, temporary shelter, clothing, etc.Hell, we had bombers ready 24/7 during the cold war, I don't see why we can't have planes fully loaded with relief supplies ahead of time to be dispatched to the site of a disaster. Especially something like this where there is advanced warning.
