[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]California responds very well to these disasters which is exactly why the GOP trolls are out in force trying to change the narrative to benefit them. The GOP, the party that cheers when school children are gunned down because it means more gun sales. The GOP who wants to strip away your healthcare, cut your social security. The GOP who now wants disaster relief for businesses not people. The GOP that wants to repeal every environmental and human protection regulation so developers can build anything, anywhere. The GOP who will lie to you and do anything to make a buck. [/quote]

It's hard to believe you truly think california's leaders have prepared for and responded "very well" to this disaster.[/quote]

Actually they have. The wind speeds and uncharacteristically dry conditions this time of year which is fueled by climate change has created a historic disaster. CA has a network of firefighters across the state and globe that have been brought in. Cal Fire has over the years traveled globally too to assist. Unlike the political maga trolls these folks work together to save lives while you spread lies to further your pea sized agendas. CA has shelters in place, laws to protect against price gouging and grift, and programs on top of the federal programs to help middle and low income residents.[/quote]

Another thing that I wish people understood better is the nature of disaster management planning. It is an ever evolving process. There are so many variables that it’s impossible to anticipate or plan for all of them. When a disaster occurs, it teaches planners new things and reveals weaknesses or failure points in existing knowledge and systems.

One example of this that received heavy press coverage and that people may remember is Katrina and pets. Something like 40% of people who refused evacuation did so because they couldn’t take their pets. There were also large numbers of animals that had to be put down because shelters were overflowing and in the total chaos, rescuers could not do anything else.

Because of this, 30 states have laws or regulations that support evacuating pets with their people, and planners and private rescuers work to more effectively save and shelter separated pets.[/quote]
