How can DHS improve its Federal response time down to the local level in the first 72 hours of a disaster?

the U.S decided to drop atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and this created some controversy. Some people though it was a good idea to bomb Japan‚ while others say that 200‚000 innocent people were killed. I believe that bombing the two cities was the right decision because it did save the lives of many U.S soldiers and it ended World War II.

Excuse me for having no burden like yours” said Mr. Tanimoto . The words of Mr. Tanimoto‚ a Reverend who survived the atomic bombing in Hiroshima‚ is a parallel of my initial response to reading Hiroshima. I cannot fathom the atrocity that the victims and survivors of Hiroshima must have felt‚ but my immediate response to the book Hiroshima written by John Hersey was that the suffering of the Japanese could have been avoided if the United States would have enforced proportionality.
