Yeah, I wonder if it took a 18 month $1 billion research and planning commitee for these companies to deduce the most effective method for dealing with the logistical problems of dealing with disasters that effect their business?

Another key point not said is that WalMart is a business, in business to make money. The US government is in business to spend taxpayers money, nothing else.

Maybe, maybe not.

It's easy to redirect water to another area when you have trucks hauling it around for sale every day. It's not so easy when you have things you need to acquire, or are statically stored and have to start from scratch. I wonder how well Walmart would be at getting trailers to the folks, or roads reopened after all those trees fell on them. Or lets play hey Walmart, "fix the power lines" or can you cook as well?

Walmart just needs to redirect it's constantly in motion supply chain to get some supplies to effected areas, the feds needs to buy or round up, load and then direct.

Apples and oranges analogy, and a not too useful one at that.

If you think so, lets have Walmart respond to all natural disasters and watch how fast their supply chain runs dry.
