Port-o-lets require service after 110 uses.

30,000 people means 300 units...per day, with no repeat business.

I know I'm repeating myself, but the sheer scale of this disaster has yet to sink in for a lot of people.

It takes years to build up your home or apartment. You simply cannot pick up a million people and plant them elsewhere in a time span measured in days. Not even in weeks really, but this is precisely what FEMA is prepping to do.

Although, just one day's use might have been enough. It's not like they were eating much.

Any extra capacity (especially in a portable and disposable facility) would be welcome.

A very good point that bears repeating. Even assuming no hurricane, no flooding, no criminal interference, and general optimum conditions, evacuating the entire population of a major American city has never been done before that I can think of. Yet everyone expects it to happen instantly and flawlessly.
