I just read this blurb about government waste and thought about you with your supply chain experience. If yes, perhaps your company can write itself a contract by fixing this problem? I can only hope this can aid you in reaching your $20 million dollar goal. Doing what I can to help you reach this personal goal of yours.

FEMA Fumbles Funding and Fails:
FEMA spent $240 million building a high-tech system to help deliver supplies and coordinate the multi-agency response to national disasters. But a review by the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General found the Logistics Supply Chain Management System so riddled with errors that it can’t “interface” with other agencies – making it nearly impossible to locate and deliver emergency supplies.
The IG also said that even if the system worked, agency employees have not been trained properly to use it. Overall, auditors concluded, “Despite spending about $247 million over nine years, FEMA cannot be certain its supply chain management system will be effective during a catastrophic disaster.”
