[quote=Anonymous]For a large scale disaster, that affects multiple counties, you need to prepare for the fact that the federal response will be delayed at least 3 and more likely 4 or 5 days. Individuals need to be prepared for at a minimum, the first 24 hours. Ideally 3 days, but many people can't or won't do that, so at least aim for 24 hours. The next 2-3 days ... neighborhoods/communities need to be prepared to help each other out. Counties, towns.. if not affected... should be stepping up in a large scale disaster the first 3 days. The state response should start to be seen by day 3, if there are parts of the state that didn't get affected. If it is a small state and the whole state was hit... there might not be much state response. The federal response should be vigorous after that .. especially by day 5. But in a large scale emergency it is unrealistic to think the feds are going to be able to show up much before day 5 in any particular local area. [/quote]
