they could actually cover something else 
or, if people really feel the urge to watch constant updates and coverage of these natural disasters, wouldn't you prefer to see how people are actually handling things? I'd be into that more than seeing someone stand outside a tourist hotel...actually go out into the town and cover how they are evacuating/hunkering down...there's a thought: we might actually benefit from watching what the other places are doing right
