I noticed. Government can never mobilize enough to pull people's "fat from the fire". You'd have to build a city as large or nearly as large as the one that needs help to have enough people to do the job that local volunteers do. People who do not think believe the government needs to have all the resources necessary for anything and within 24 hours....that's just silly and ignorant.
For instance, a city of 500,000 needs what....say 100,000 responders to act and supply chain in a disaster. How do you get 100,000 there in 24-48 hours...well heck, they need to live in easy driving distance so within 250-300 miles. So for a city of 500,000 you need to build a city for 100,000 paid government responders so with their families you are up to 400,000 and then support and supply for the responders and their families add another 100-200 thousand.
So the relief for a city takes something the size of that city within 250-300 miles...there goes the remaining half of your paycheck...
