He did know, of course, I cannot disagree. But, who do you think started mobilizing all these rescue efforts via national guard, military, etc. That all takes time. You can't possibly move them in prior to the disaster....that would be putting them at risk and would do no good. Naval ships and hospital ships were dispatched asap. What, in your opinion, which I do respect, should he specifically had done to make things happen faster, without endangering the lives of those trying to help?
