My question is : How does this affect to the people?

1) Depends on the skill, but basically its hard to get a job here currently.
2) Need more information. The National Guard (the US equivalent of the militia) gets called up to respond to some natural disasters but not all. We also have a number of non-military and non-government agencies that will respond. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is the part of the federal government that is responsible for disaster planning and response. The Red Cross also responds. Various insurance companies will send teams, etc. Any of them may hire private security for things like guarding warehouses and medical facilities but they do NOT have any kind of law enforcement authority.
