Where would you store them? Considering we now know where they are
needed, where would you have stored them prior to Harvey and Irma.

Would enough containers have been delivered to Barbuda prior to Irma?
The Keys? The coastal areas around Houston - e.g. the small towns and
villages, etc.?

Do you load up California in anticipation of the Big One? If so,
where? Everywhere?

How do you determine where the next disaster will strike? How do keep
them ready for use when they may sit fior decades?


You'd want them to be stored within easy distance of rail lines, because
on land railroads are the way to move them efficiently. I'd probably
scatter them about: a small pile in Chicago, a small pile in Cheyenne, a
small pile in Kansas City. Maybe about a train's or two's worth. That
way, when disaster hits the trains can all originate at different points
and hopefully won't disrupt too much traffic on the railroads.

Some prestaging may be useful, but you'd probably be better off loading
the trains as the storm is hitting rather than trying to prestage and
finding the forecast was wrong.
