After reading about the wildfires in Southern California and from what I read when it initially happened, I was impressed about how quickly the state was addressed and also about Governor’s attention to the detail that was given. He was very thorough in explaining what was going on, who was affected, and who will be helping to contain the wildfires. However, one thing that I thought he could have done a better job on was reaffirming the population of a positive outcome. That they would quickly contain the fires and that they would be doing everything to ensure the least amount of damage and catastrophe was done.
I do believe that one great thing that the State of California did do was offer up cash grants of up to $10,000 to help some of the individuals who suffered losses due to the fires. Overall though, I do believe that a good job was done to be proactive about the situation, and to me, that is the most important part; not leaving people in the dark helps to keep them informed.
