A massive earthquake struck Venezuela, killing over 1,700 people and destroying an estimated 58,000 buildings. Anger at the government is mounting over the slow disaster response. The scale of destruction and death is enormous; the government's response has reportedly been inadequate.
Disaster response is a moment where government competence and priorities become visible. Slow or inadequate response to a natural disaster of this scale fuels broader criticism and anger. In Venezuela, where the government's standing is already weakened, a disaster response failure accelerates loss of public confidence.
