He's the mayor of the city, not the Governor of the state, or the president. What could he possibly do other than beg and plead for help? Its not like he can shift resources from one area to another - he has no resources, the ENTIRE CITY was destroyed. Not just a block or a couple buildings, an entire city is underwater and devistated. He, and his citizens, are the ones who need help here, some folks here seem to think its the other way around - i don't understand. Coordination of emergency resources is not his job, he said it himself. That job belongs to people higher up the chain and they're dropping the ball. Don't get annoyed with him because he sees his citizens suffering with no help in sight and isn't smiling like a moron saying "it'll all be ok", because it isn't ok, and it's not going to be ok any time soon.
His job right now is to be the voice of his citizens and beg for someone to help. If colorful language gets it done a little sooner, then its time to bust out the urban slang dictionary.
