Survey: What should we expect from executive leaders in times of disaster? This is an essay-type survey, not a poll.
Floods, hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, mass shootings, terror attacks, and so on. How soon (or long) after a large natural disaster occurs should an executive (President and/or Governor) visit the scene? When/if they do visit, what should the purpose be and what should they physically do?
- Should they go immediately?
- Should they wait a week?
- Should they not go at all and direct from behind the lines?
- Should they actively get involved, or just provide moral support?
Please elaborate in your response. Noting any differences in your "standard" reply and an out-of-ordinary situation will be most helpful.
Please note that this is generic in nature and applies to the Office of President and/or Governor. Individual personalities are wholly irrelevant. Barring extremely unusual circumstances, one's answer should be the same regardless which person and/or party holds the office.
