What were the leadership failures during the Los Angeles wildfires and what needs to be done now?

Rick Caruso identifies massive leadership failures at both elected and appointed levels that cost people their lives, homes, and livelihoods during the Los Angeles wildfires. He emphasizes that these failures need to be understood immediately rather than postponed for later analysis, as is typical with career politicians who suggest 'we have time to figure things out.' Caruso argues that urgent accountability is necessary to prevent similar disasters in the future. He maintains that much of the destruction could have been avoided with proper leadership, and stresses the importance of asking tough questions now rather than delaying the assessment of what went wrong.
