Oh, yes... Try to repeat it to the people of New Orleans, how effective FEMA (and their local and regional companies) was in the pretty predictable situation of Hurricane Katrina. Another question is how well prepared are those "local companies" for actions in the post-attack environment.The Russians have more FEMA type personnel because its a typical Russian centrally controlled organization. FEMA has very few real employees and they are managers and coordinators, not laborers. FEMA contracts out all real work to local and regional companies on short term emergency contracts. It’s far better and cheaper than the failed Russian idea of government employees doing the work.Good question. Russian analog of FEMA - MChS, have roughly 300 thousands of men and women, nearly 38 times more than FEMAFEMA (for the much lesser population), there are NCB-protection troops, there are deputies of chiefs for emergency situations at any significant businesses, who create and twice a year clarify plans of evacuation (for different circumstances), there are plans for police, National Guard, there are school programs of Security, Safety and Survivalnce (more advanced and militarized version of Health and Life Safety) and Initial Military Trainings, etc... The Russians take it really serious. China in 2019 started reforms of their Civil Defense based at the Russian system.You’re really funny, delusional, but funny. Exactly where do you think Russia and China are going to evacuate those tens or hundreds of millions of civilians to ride out a nuclear war?No. Ability to target thousands of nukes with deadly accuracy in the normal situation does not mean possibility to achieve all those goals:Second - we need the Credible First Strike Capability, which depends on our possibility to counter their retaliation strike. (Detterence Type II).
We have the ability to target thousands of nukes with deadly accuracy.
No need to worry about that
1) to destroy significant part of their strategic and tactical nukes to minimize their retaliation strike to the acceptable level;
2) kill at least 30 millions of Russians and 100 millions of Chineses in situation when their cities are particularly evacuated and population is sheltered;
3) destroy their recuperation potential, including conventional military forces and storage facilities.
All of this US Forces must be able to do in the situation of their active counteractions, including sabotage, espionage, active ABD, erzatz-ABD, etc...
I'm pretty sure, that right now the USA, isn't even at half-way to such possibility (even if we are talking only about Russia and China, not the whole Shanghai Pact).

They have the Federal Agency of State Reserves, there are enough of food to feed all Russians for three years.What will they eat and drink afterwards?
What is even more important - they have the Army, and rich and defenseless neighbours to blackmail or simply rob them.Federal Agency for State Reserves - Wikipedia

Nuclear war is survivable and even winnable, but only if you are well prepared for it. Russia is prepared. China is increasing its readiness. The US politicians prefer to ignore the problem.Nuclear war is unsurvivable and any US president who allowed a attack on the USA without retaliation would be torn limb from limb instead of merely being impeached.
New Orleans was a goat fuck by the local government that had inadequate plans and didn’t even follow the plans they did have. For instance, the city was depending on the school bus fleet to help evacuate those without personal transportation. The problem with that is they didn’t bother to tell either the drivers or managers of the school busses about the plan and despite being in hurricane alley New Orleans never even bother to have disaster drills. Contrast that to Los Angeles’ Northridge earthquake. LA had a plan, had rehearsed it every year and it worked. There was no panic,so starvation and despite being in the middle of a desert with at least ten times the population of NO, adequate water and food. FEMA had people in place within hours and had a fully functional headquarters filling a two story fifty thousand square foot headquarters within four days. I know that because I installed the phone system and helped install the expanded telephone cables for the building.
Yes. That's the point. When you have good plans, enough of material reserves, if your people are well trained - ok, there is no problem in the case of earthquake, flood or a nuclear strike. If you have not - ok, it's going to be something really bad. How many of "local companies" are really prepared for the nuclear war? Almost nothing.
The Russian Emercom is ready.
You can’t have enough stockpiles in a nuclear attack because if they are close enough to be useful, they will be either destroyed or irradiated and made useless. If they are far enough away to be safe, they can’t be transported safely through the irradiated areas to the survivors. That’s assuming that the kleptocrats who run your country won’t seize the stores and sell them on the black market for personal profit. Thanks, I’ll take free enterprise over Russian corruption.
