Franchise owners in the emergency services sector, (yes-there is a sector in franchising like this) tend to do very well, in times of great public need. Hurricane Sandy may go down as the worst storm to ever hit the east coast. Franchisees that own the types of franchises mentioned in this post will be very busy indeed.

Joel,

Being an entrepreneur is about finding a problem and helping to solve it. That's what you're doing when your business helps people recover from disasters. Yes, you're compensated for your time and for the expense of your investment so that you can be at the ready to assist. I don't see that as capitalizing off a disaster. Disasters occur and volunteers have neither the equipment nor the expertise to deal with every problem that arises.
