I heard on the radio on Monday morning that Bush was suggesting that the Pentagon take over these sorts of things. The thought horrifies me. It seems that the Administration either wants total military control or none at all on the Federal level and working with local government and businesses isn't as much of an option.
ETA: I kinda agree with this guy:
Seems that Wal-Mart's plan worked beautifully during Katrina, when it wasn't interfered with by FEMA. There are a lot of experts on logistics out there that don't specialize in warfare. It seems to me that we should look to them first and let the Pentagon worry about defending the country from enemies.

I seem to have some recollection that Mick Jagger spent some time at the London School of Economics and apparently has a lot of input into the logistics of the tours. Perhaps the Dept. of Homeland security can hire him as a consultant, although I'm not sure he'd go for the pay cut.
