"If prices were allowed to rise more would be moved in to the effected region" Well, it already happens without the prices rising. So I don't really see what you are trying to prove with this very theoretical discussion.

you might have a point if the entire country was declared a disaster area but when one region is effected, parts in short supply can be trucked or flown into the effected area. And public and private charities will do that. But they can't supply everything demanded by the effected area. If prices were allowed to rise more would be moved in to the effected region (which would then start bringing prices back down, closer to normal levels). Tim, I have to revert to JF's "we are a community". Nothing justifies the kind of attitude you are suggesting that vendors should have during a disaster. Apparently, you have never been in a natural disaster. If you had been, you would understand what I am saying.
