Summary
President Obama decided to support Oklahoma "as long as it takes." As a result of the tornado, about 24 people, including 9 children, were sacrificed, and a large portion of Oklahoma City, the capital and hub of the state Oklahoma, experienced severe economic and human loss. Most houses, schools, and important infrastructures were ruined due to the disaster, and relief work is in progress right now. For more vigorous relief work and compensation, the President Obama declared disaster in Oklahoma, and the Federal government is planning for grand scale financial aid for this current disaster. The government is resolved to do whatever they can for recovery of Oklahoma.
My Thought
Tornado "attack" gave a great impact to Oklahoma; therefore, I agree with the government's immediate action. When hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana in 2005, government failed to redeem people from the disaster, and FEMA's ineffective measure further worsened the problem. For the most part, government should financially and humanistically support Oklahoma as soon and much as possible. Emergency aid is more effective as it is done in quick.
The GReat impact was so big. Immediate action was required
ReplyDeleteI think that statement is what citizens thought. Government need to support them and help them as long as it takes. Good summary!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I hope the citizens of Oklahoma to recover their life. I agree with you. Government have to support people who get suffer from the tornado. I wish government to practice the proper support so that they can help other people which have potential damage in the future.
