This was me in 2017,
After Katrina we didn't learn
We should have a few stockpiles of medical supplies, meals ready to eat, and supplies to support a full city staged on national guard bases around the country and set to be deployed in under 24 hours
we have enough cargo planes and trucks, hell if the economy is down and shipping is limited build the system into 40ft trailers and have truckers move them. Build the system around existing platforms: 18 wheel trucks, USPS vans, fedex/ups vans, etc...
We have the tools and resources we just need the push. MREs are good for what a decade? park them there and replenish on a schedule that feeds them back into the military or surplus sales

sure the setup cost would be high but it would be the sort of contracts the military..
..loves and the systems would be usable for other humanitarian missions
