discuss the implementation of price control after natural disaster.?

Price control should only be to prevent gouging.  When dealing with economics, its best to let the market find its equilibrium point.  But during a natural disaster the supply of food and gas become inelasic, because people want to servive the disaster, and are willing to pay $100 for a gallon of water.  The government interferes and controls prices to save the economy (if people spend all of their money surviving a natural disaster, they will have none to start over after their homes and jobs are gone.).

Perhaps you mean the Billback cost recovery system described in the source link.  Good luck.

The best thing to do is not meddle. If price gets high enough, people will be forced to conserve. Prices are usually over $4 per gallon in Europe and over $3 per gallon for most of Latin America. Perhaps prices would be more stable if North America were to stop wasting the world's fuel supply.

Believe me you don't want the federal price controls back on gasoline. Something makes me sure you're not old enough to remember what happened in 1973, but that aside, it is egregious for a company to compensate any executive like that. Those earning could be retained and probably doubled in a matter of five years on simple investments, much less research, development and exploration. How about infrastructure improvements like new refineries and pipelines?\n\nThis madness in U.S. and U.K. corporate culture with the salaries and bonuses is going to implode just like the nonsense with the stock market did 5 years ago. Investors beware! Can anyone say Dick Grasso?

Keep a selection of canned goods, Bottled water, candles, Flashlights, a basic first aid kit, dry clothing and blankets. Allow enough for 5 days for the whole family and add enough for an extra person so as you wont go short. Also some cash as teller machines could be out for a while. Other than that Things are specific for each type of disaster. (you need other things for a earthquake than for a tidal wave or volcanic explosion.

It is practical but not the only way to measure performance. It's the manager's job to control costs, so their decisions matter unless the situation is totally out of their hands.  For instance the water rate hike in 2006.  Rates doubled!  So the manager's decisions relative to cost go hand in hand.  Does the manager make good cost decisions as related to their role?  Is the situation unforeseenable or uncontrollable?  IE Katrina?

Watch for a pre-hurricane season run in the spring/early summer.  VLO, CHK and ECA were good to me last time oil prices were climbing.  Wait for momentum to kick in that sector again.

Hmmm...Not really sure.\n\nI know that the "price freeze", if instituted by the government, would only apply to the actual sale of gas.  The price of oil COULD continue to rise (the foreign stuff (a LOT)), which would mean less of a profit for the oil companies, who buy the oil & refine it into gasoline.\n\nI can't exactly aswer your question, but a price freeze may not help.

drastically cutting something like pricing to move it out.\n\n'mark it down and move it out'\n\nits either your/their jobs in ref: to wages or the company's down pricing to benefit the public.\n\npublic or employees

If New Orleans is rebuilt under sea level the only insurance available will come from the Federal Government and taxpayers will continue to build it over nd over again. If it is built back Allstate will never pay a claim. I doubt they will sell insurance there again.\nIt is just a matter of time before it get hit again. It would not surprise me if it get hit again this Hurricane Season. I say Flood it and build on higher ground.

Those are likely still ongoing, especially as the material costs are just now being affected (what was already in stock was pre-hurricane in many cases). Here's what's been done already:

Yes we are in a crises! And if something is not done it is only going to get worse. I don't know exactly what needs to be done but Americans need to make a stand against this and say enough is enough. It is all over the news, on the net, talk shows and so on. That suggests to me that something is wrong. I don't know what Americans are going to do. The price of everything has went up and continues to go up. And we are not getting any cost of living increases either. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. And no help from the government because they are some of those getting richer over the oil. When Exxon goes above Wal-mart we have a problem.

I dont know..i have a hard time with giving billions of dollars to a city where people chose to live below sea level and that will likely flood again in the future.  Many of New Orleans residence have found homes elsewhere and will not be returning. The ones that do should have insurance, right?  Why should we pay for them to rebuild?
