Does anyone know of a private, for profit, emergency response company that is capable (has the funds, resources and man power) to respond to an event like Sandy of 9-11?
What would a privatized FEMA being doing right now in New York and New Jersey and who would be picking up the tab? Would it be pay as you go? Would they ask for your credit card # before they rescued you from the roof of you house ? Would they come by with water and food like the ice cream man and you'd need to pay $5 for a 12 oz bottle of tap water
What would this thing look like
Romney won't say a word about it even though it's his vision of a perfect world
Anyone got any ideas?

FEMA's done something in New York and Jersey? They haven't done jack shit. Staten Island is a fucking disaster. ::)

so I can put you down as having no answer to any of my questions ?

The answer is that they likely wouldn't do a worse job than a non-privatized FEMA has done as FEMA has done nothing whatsoever in NYC and much of the area (outside of Manhattan) is a disaster with FEMA nowhere to be seen.
Just another example of how fucking useless the federal govt. is.

I didn't ask it it would do worse or not
I asked what it would look like, how would it be paid for and by whom?
How would they have the resources (money and manpower) to respond to huge events
Is there an example of this anywhere else in the world

It would look like anything because its not possible
Maybe 10 hippies with a raft

Yeah......KBR could do it. Easily.....and if they didn't do the job you could fire them. Nobody at FEMA is getting fired.

You cant fire volunters
Well you can but...
-
FEMA......yeah they're not volunteers they're part of the government/Homeland Security. They operate as a headquarters and coordinate disaster response. They can be fired.

I meant if we shutdown FEMA
And relied on volunters
Why arent the streets full of volunters now?

No idea.....this is a FEMA show. The Red Cross is there, there are non-profits doing things but to organize aid you need an HQ running things. FEMA has failed. When we invaded Iraq and had to build camps in Quwait. KBR slapped everything togther in days...shitters, chow halls, motor pools, offices, living quarters etc. Pay somebody who'll come in and get people where they need to be, move trucks, generators, water, fuel, food etc. This can all be done with NG help. This shit is not hard. They had a week to pre position eveything. Obama is being covered by the MSM on this and Libya...its a friggen disgrace.

Slapped together is right. And we saw US military personnel showering in contaminated & diseased water, living in substandard conditions, we saw raw sewage leaking down walls, They did a bang up job. And of course, rather than repair vehicles, they simply blew them up and bought new ones, ...on the tax payers dime.
Private for profit disaster relief benefits the profiteers, not the victims of the disaster.

Why for profit? The gov. Can and does contract with non profits

It would prob look like New Orleans did the 1st 4 days. Nothing but raping and robbing... And if u had Romney in you could sleep well at night knowing he's mandating all the raped woman to keep the babies "cause it was ment to be"

you leftists all need to STFU w your obama slave worship.
FEMA has been a total FAIL so far.

Romney's vision is for a privatized FEMA
I guess a private company could be a non-profit but I don't think that's the goal of a Republican vision of privitization. Profit is usually their motive but since Romney refuses to answer any questions about it we really don't know if that's his goal or not (though given his business background I'm assuming for now that it is the motivation)

Are you for a privatized military?
