Thanks to all for looking and commenting.  Chris

So, the power is out and the emergency generators didn't work. 

The Crescent and its crew do nothing while local people delivered groceries and ordered McDonalds. Still the toilets were overflowing. 

I-95 was shut down on Tuesday with people trapped for 24+ hours and Virginia officials did.... nothing. Details here: https://www.statter911.com/2022/01/07/virginia-officials-delayed-coordination-with-local-jurisdictions-to-help-people-stranded-on-i-95/  

19 die in Bronx fire and the responding fire company had to come from the farthest point in its reponse area and one of the trucks was "delayed." A ladder truck was not initially dispatched even though the building was known to be a high-rise apartment. 

What is wrong with "management" officials in our nation?!

The whole point of emergency management, continuity management, (or whatever you wish to call it) is to make sure emergencies are mitigated, no matter what. They are paid to think outside the box. Forget PSR. This problem seems far more endemic among our management class. What do they spend their time doing?
