It is the government's responsibility to protect the people. Also, the government generally has the most resources to help with recovery and repairs.

When a hurricane or flood strikes a country who is most likely to respond first?

The government or local charity would respond first. The government would ease and calm the confusion (or at least, try). While another form of charity, including the government, would provide housing with food and water. In the end, it depends on how friendly and willing your neighbors are able to provide; whether it be a community, state, or country, as long as they were not and will not be hit in the process. Do not copy and paste my statement.


When a hurricane or flood or pandemic strikes a country who is the most likely to respond first?

When a hurricane, flood, or pandemic strikes a country, the people most likely to respond first are those trained how to respond. Since this seems like a silly answer, it is necessary to go into details. Two states had prison riots. One had a number of people killed. Florida had teams of officers trained. They went in an put down the riot without loss of life. When Hurricane Catrina was headed toward New Orleans, the city, county, state, and federal response teams had no idea what to do. The Methodist Church had made provision to assist the Migrants in case a hurricane was coming. That preparation was diverted to taking over for the missing government workers. The Methodist Church had prepared for something different, but it had prepared. So, the answer to your question is the group most likely to respond first is the group most prepared to respond first. Congress will need to hold committee hearings. The military will need to plan. If there is a group ready to respond it will respond. It can be a civilian group or a military group. It can be a secular group or a church group. It must be trained and have the tools.
