Suppose that last night, there was a major earthquake (Richter 7 or 8+) in
(say) Bangladesh. Naturally, as soon as everyone knows what the affected
area is, there will be a massive movement of aid of all types.

Question, for those who have watched this sort of response:

Assume that orders to move people and resources are given immediately. How
long would it be before...

1. NGOs such as ICRC and MSF would be on-scene and providing effective aid?

2. A US aircraft carrier (and appropriate support) would be on-scene and
providing effective aid?

Relevant question, Traveller:

Considering what a US aircraft carrier can do in such a case (google,
"aircraft carrier pin drop"), what would be the equivalent starship type?
