A big part of the issue is communications were cut and staff at most offices is down sigi if a tly leading to gaps in process and overworked people. Warnings weren't issued in as timely a manner as possible and the vehicles that would normally carry the message werent in place. They had let or go or were unable to backfill due to DOGE "a senior hydrologist, a staff forecaster and a warning coordination meteorologist." See that last one? Im actually not 100% on the "this is trumps" fault, but if the right is going to pile on Newsom for the wild fires Texas governor and Trump certainly are way more cupable.
