UNIT 2 JOURNAL 2.


 The situation created by the Storm Sandy is still unresolved. For the longest time, the debate rages as to what is the proper place of local government and national government when a disaster strikes a community. In this writer's opinion the National government place is to provide the funds and assistance necessary for the local governments to ensure the prompt rebuilding of the community in such a way that the reoccurrence of any natural disaster will not affect the community at large in such a devastating way.


This is simplistic, but it is my deeply held belief that, although problems can be complex beyond measure, the solutions should be simple enough as to be grasped by everyone involved. Simplicity precludes the great majority of the ills that plague any rescue effort, among them the belief that only certain people can solve the problems at hand. It is apparent to me that the affected community should be the one doing the solving with the assets provided by the national government.
