My wife asked me, this afternoon, the exact question that started this thread. She also wondered, as do I, how many of our global neighbors will be sending aid and assistance our way during our time of need. I don't think I'll be holding my breath. I'm sure if there's a like disaster in the near future somewhere else in the world we'll send people, food and money. That's the kinda great counrty we are.

I reckon many countries assume that the richest, most powerful country in the world can or even prefers to handle this alone and has the resources to it. I'm convinced that if the US would make clear it welcomes foreign assistance, it won't be disappointed.
