I can think of one. Flood 2013. As much as we all celebrate the Calgarians that came out full force and Nenshi doing press releases, for me with a flooded basement not in a rich community it was a cluster from all levels of government.

What saved damage from being much worse was taking charge myself. Buying my own equipment. People on my street mapping out the sewers ourself.

Government is just incapable of handling problems like this. For all the DR plans it goes to heck fairly quick.

Its no wonder people just say eff it and horde. There is no plan, and if there is, the people executing it likely go off script or are incompetent
