Is that a solution only governments can provide? And in that case was the failing at the federal or local level?

Why do you keep asking strangely presumptuous questions without answering the simple, direct questions yourself?

Are you honestly interested in discussion or are you more interested in pushing a particular narrative?

The failing was local, because the MAGA morons refused federal funding to install alarm systems because it came from Biden (until, of course, they quietly took it and redirected the funds to the Sheriff department).

The NWS worked perfectly and they were warned in time.
