Can someone please explain this to me like I am a 6 year old because I am having issues understanding a few things.
News reports from Global are saying that the town of Merritt has thousands of people stranded there, people are paying thousands of dollars for private flights out of the local airport. People all over BC are running out of food, water, clothing, medication. The supply chain is going to be a mess and the food, fuel and other needed items are going to run very low in a lot of regions very quickly.
Where is the national response from the highest level's of government? Why are officials saying they don't know when the armed forces will arrive with equipment and evacuation?
Why is it disaster after disaster do the most basic things like sending emergency alerts and having a rapid responses and decision making always fail? When it's clearly at a level when assistance is needed, all across this country of ours do we always fail at that.
It's almost like the people in power always f**** up when it's apparent to a monkey holding a banana that help is needed.
48-72 hours later and BC is declaring a state of emergency? People are paying private contractors to rescue them? Federal officials have just today approved a request for assistance?
It's like this everywhere and for all major disasters. Forest fires, floods, ice storms, massive pileup's on highways and more. Why do people in power have such poor decision skills?
I know it's easy to be critical from the sidelines but some of these decisions are not hard to make when you see it first hand with your own eyes. It's perplexing.
