fax them to us. They do not have to buy or stock anything. That is the model that we came up with that got us going. We have a free catalog for those who are interested, at www.emergen-
cysupplycatalog.com, that is a mirror of our website.” How is the rescue effort go-
ing in Haiti? Tepel is critical of governments around the world for not being more prepared for disaster relief. “It never fails. During the Haiti relief effort, we would get these calls from the federal government and the caller might say, ‘We want one million personal hygiene kits, and we want them shipped to- morrow.’ There is no company in the United States or around the world that keeps one million personal hygiene kits in stock, ready to ship. You cannot keep an airport hanger fi lled with emergency supplies, hoping for a disaster, so you can sell them to the federal government. What the government needs to do is have warehouses, where it is stocking one million personal hygiene kits. The federal government needs a system where they can deploy this stuff immediately to any place, domestically or around the world, in the event of a di- saster. That way, they wouldn’t have to panic and call around for one million hygiene kits or one million food bars. They are the ones who need to prepare for it, not private businesses.”
While John Tepel and May-
day can’t deliver on one million personal hygiene kits in 24 hours, he is fully prepared to help in the next disaster, and the people of Haiti and the world are better off having Mayday at the ready. ■
