For anyone involved in Emergency Management, the worst part of the job is providing photo-ops for every bonehead elected/nominated official who hasn't a clue about any of it.  Resources are wasted to ferry them around, and in the case of Il Duce Trump, he only sees a lot of water on a lot of land without a clue as to the on-the-ground devastation to peopl and property.  Obama and Hilary are leaving the response to those trained to manage the situation, federally, state, and locally.  Stay out of the way is the best and only response for anyone not involved in the actual emergency management.
