What that suggests is that a state will have supplies stockpiled.  Fifty separated piles of stuff which may or may not be needed.  It is a big waste of resources.  A single source of emergency resources with a expert supply chain is what this needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump is a finger pointer.
