They'd rather get on TV after half the town is gone and give the rugged individualist's creed: We'll rebuild, we're not like those folks who want everything given to them...

They want the Red Cross in there every time, because somebody else gave them money, not the government that TOOK their money to have people that can respond.

It sucks. Towns can find the cash for a 4th of July noise and pollutionpalooza, but can't keep some MREs and water on hand.
