As an intergraded safety student I can see it in both ways, as a prepared civilian as well as with the emergency management people.

As a prepared civilian I would hate to loose my equipment and supplies to others, because they simply didn't prepared. My preparation cost me money and time. While other may have used there resources to have a luxury like a vacation, which I haven't had since 2000.

But understand that people managing these situations usually have little recourses to deal with a big problem. But they still have to save as many lives as possible. Than taking away some supplies from a civilian who has plenty and give them to people who hasn't, will look like an option that will work well in short situations. The management isn't trying to make prepared people miserable, but only intend to save as many people as possible. Personally I think the government must always leave enough supplies for the prepared persons for a longer period than you think a situation is going to last. And persons must be fully compensated for there "lost" equipment, supplies and any other form of damaged caused by removing your resource to others.
