I agree the list is out of order for a short-term emergency (i.e. hurricane, tornado) effecting a small region. I think this list is more designed for a long-term, longer reaching emergency (think Jerico the TV series).

Oh, I thought that the rent-a-dog link was priceless. What will the left-coast think of next? And no, the dog in my avatar is not for rent. I think he would rent me out first.
