What Firefighters Could Teach the Trump Administration About Covid-19
The ICS is specifically designed to address many of the same problems that have plagued the Trump administration’s Covid-19 response: (1) an unclear chain of command and supervision; (2) lack of an orderly systematic planning process; (3) poor integration of inter-agency management structures and processes; (4) poor communication; and (5) a lack of accountability at the top.
These shortcomings are at the heart of the problems plaguing the U.S. pandemic response. As a result, each state’s governor has been forced to “freelance” in attempting to obtain testing materials, personnel protective equipment (PPE), and ventilators. That, in turn, led to competition between the states and the federal government for the same supplies. And it is now leading to a wide range of “re-opening” strategies in spite of the lack of essential information to track the progress of the disease including adequate testing and tracing capability.
