I hope this is not a trend where we, too let Trump off the hook. There will surely be more identified on this score, but even the lack of experienced officials s) interaction and interphasing with the community, its leaders, its emergency responders facing impacts is most definitely consistent with a contributory impact.

Honestly. Must we whitewash the incompetence of Trump et al. too?
