Makes no difference. Those guys know they're building and buying houses in areas very prone to wildfires from way before the time that they buy, so I don't buy the idea that they're due anything in the way of help from anyone other than their insurance company and their family and friends. Those are the people who usually help the most and do it best. The feds stink at it.
I’m not a big fan of federal flood insurance and things of that nature. It was a big issue during the florida primary and mccain opposed it. He still managed to win.
What I’m talking about are the logistics of fighting a fire that transcends localities and the evacuation. For example, during a hurricane, people from Louisiana need to be bussed and sheltered in texas. That’s not an easy thing to pull off by the private sector.
Another example of federal intervention would be during some kind of highly contagious outbreak.
