Well I do know what has happened there and wanted to see who was interested because exercises for relief work are being conducted concerning this area. In short, there is talk that another major earthquake could affect this exact same area. The river, as Dowly mentioned, did change directions from the earthquake in the early 1800s. The area that will be affected are the states if lL, MO, TN and IN. So I get the usual questions...we will need 1300 trailer/drivers in 24 hours to pick up relief supplies for delivery around the affected areas. Can you do it and what is the cost?
Well sure. I love relief exercises. Some of them are extremely outlandish. I had one concerning Mt St Helens blowing her top again effectively shutting down all the surrounding airports. I needed to get urban search and rescue folks on the ground within 24 hours. This included their vehicles, personal belongings, gear and dogs. Needless to say if I can not fly I get a barge out of Oregon somewhere and run the coast! My favorite was quoting out piping to run drinking water from one HI island to another HI island. No problem. It will not be the first time we toyed with an Antonov to move tons of supplies.
