IF if you were in charge of homeland security would you agree that

This question was answered 50 years ago. It was the person's responsibility to stock food, water, clothing and medicines...not the state. Many people went so far to build bomb shelters in their homes. Complete with generators, air shafts, and beds. Most have been torn down or converted. The new generation doesn't remember that we were faced with total annihilation during the cold war and nuclear bombs! Yes, communities had shelters, but the rules that were posted (still there in the hometown) mentioned this was a temporary shelter and each person was responsible for themselves!

I definitely think it would be a great idea if they had more emergency food stations and shelters for emergencies. Some places get too crowded when something bad happens and people always get left out. With the growing population, they will need to make shelters. With the increasing numbers of illegal immigrants there is more of a need to have more food stations.

I would imagine that it would make perfect sense to have emergency food for at least three months. Foods such as powered milk, tinned & canned food, water purifying tablets, soap, toilet paper, etc. Also basic medical supplies would be a good move also. These emergency supplies should be located in reasonable distance for most people to access.

Those might be grand ideas. Who is going to pay for all that? It would cost $$billions to build thousands of supply stations and stock them with food an supplies. And what about the food going bad after a while? Can you imagine the extra government employees required to administer this plan? It would end up im mass confusion and a total waste of money. Also, you would have to guard each shelter with some type of guards to keep people from stealing the food and supplies.
