In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday. In contrast to its stated policy, FEMA failed to have any meaningful supplies of bottled water -- or any other supplies, for that matter -- stored in nearby facilities as it had proclaimed it would on its website. This was the case despite several days advance warning of the impending storm. FEMA only began to solicit bids for vendors to provide bottled water for distribution to Hurricane Sandy victims on Friday, sending out a solicitation request for 2.3 million gallons of bottled water at the FedBizOpps.gov website. Bidding closed at 4:30 pm eastern. Breitbart News spoke with contracting officer Annette Wright, who said that the winning vendor would be required to deliver the 2.3 million gallons of bottled water to an East Farmingdale, New York distribution center that was listed in the solicitation request by Monday, November 5th. Ms. Wright was unable to say when or how the water would be delivered from the distribution center to needy Hurricane Sandy victims in New Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island, and other boroughs of New York City. Vendors "are currently being evaluated," she said, and when the vendors are announced, they will provide information on how local distribution will occur.
Poster Comment:
FEMA's vaunted "lean forward" strategy that called for advanced staging of supplies for emergency distribution failed to live up to its billing in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

NYC making NO look good. We store our water at Wal Marts.....;} The Problem now: Trying to return to BAU ASAP. This is stupid. Try carrying 5 gal of anything. A generator uses 1 gal per hour. And God knows what that electricity is being used for. The Learning Curve is steep. NYC is making New Orleans look good.
Whoa hoss! The average American doesn't live in a global warming mansion like you and algore, so they don't need anywhere near that BIG a gas guzzling generator. And you don't need to run everything at once while watching "An Inconvenient Truth" on a dozen large screen TV's. My 2800 watt inverter generator gets over 4 hours per gallon. The inverter allows it to run at much lower RPM (in economy mode) than the 3600 that most generators use to get 60 cycles per second. It's very efficient, but it wasn't cheap.
Thanx, Mr PopSci, But you make my point better than I could. The average American doesn't live in a global warming mansion. Yes, but moot.

Exactly. With a Simple Conversion kit I bring my 500 gal propane tank into the mix.

The neighbor uses a couple of fifty gallon drums. He has his set up so it can run on propane or with a few tweaks...wood smoke.
