The government helped quite a bit when the tornado hit the Villages and other surrounding areas on Groundhog Day of 2007. Believe the FEMA trucks were at Laurel Manor for a good while.
It seems to depend on where the disaster hits and who is running the government in that area as well as who has the White House. New Orleans and Katrina were handled very badly IMHO. The 9/11 terrorist attacks though seemed to get a swift and massive response from the government.
I see the violence in Chicago as kind of disaster and government does not seem to being all that much to stop this. Not sure what they can do in this economy though to turn youth away from the illegal drug trade.
