We all saw the warnings the NWS was giving and no doubt the government did too. This is all acting after the fact which is why you have the former mayor complaning.
The former mayor is complaining because he's an idiot. In the great chain of people who need to know anything about the scope of relief, rescue, and engineering logistics, the former mayor is pretty damn irrelevant. It's the height of irresponsibility for a former elected official to be carping like that. The rescue efforts are proceeding. FEMA knows what they're doing. So does the military (which already had boots on the ground as well as driving, flying, and sailing into the area at the time that the idiot was complaining about the lack of troops). I think everybody's a little too busy to take the time to brief a sad little man crying for screentime on CNN.
