LA disasters test Villaraigosa’s crisis management skills
Los Angeles Times, CA
Last month, one Los Angeles blog criticized Villaraigosa for attending a baseball game during the Marek fire in the Valley’s Lake View Terrace area — even though he appeared at the fire both before and after his time at Dodger Stadium. “With firefighters working overtime to douse 10,000 acres of charred landscape, Villaraigosa had a responsibility to monitor the blaze from a location not quite as, well, fun, as Dodger Stadium,” wrote LAist blogger Jeremy Oberstein. Aides to Villaraigosa say that, under national guidelines for disaster management, the mayor’s formal role is to serve as a citywide spokesman, a “calm, consistent presence” who can inform residents in a timely way about evacuations, freeway closures and other crucial issues. To secure that information, he relies on aides at shelters and on fire lines, and the city’s underground Emergency Operations Center. But the mayor also has an informal role, one in which he must make decisions such as whether to declare a nighttime curfew to prevent looting. That role has expanded in recent months, with Villaraigosa making hospital visits and, in a few cases, notifying next of kin that a loved one has died.
