These two hurricanes underscore the importance of scale when it comes to government and personal responsibility. You could argue that everybody is responsible for themselves, the USA is the paragon of a free market society, after all. Yet could anybody turn a business or a profit, if they were to organize disaster relief? A company that you could call that would be able to first, get you safely out of an area encountering an exected problem, and perhaps offer other services? I won't even consider the possibility of an unexpected problem, like a terrorist created havoc. I guess with the way that government is doing it now, any private concern might be able to do it better. Is there a niche waiting to be filled or can the public do a better job at taking care of its individuals?
