All of this stuff will not only help out in the material sense of things, but really really help to counter the awful feelings that so many of these people are experiencing right now.

Your question was who would be first.

And the choices were Walmart or FEMA.

I have heard of numerous bad experience with Red Cross and their disaster help. Does anyone have a good story about Red Cross.
My personal experience was Red Cross hanging banners at disaster sites while other groups actually helped. Red Cross did hand out supplies bought with FEMA money per tag in box

My neighbor had a bad experience. She is not a fan, and I'll leave it at that.

Do like the Philippines during a disaster, with hold aide until the congressman and senitors get their name labels donated by on all the relief boxes.
