The best answer is: many Americans felt his administration took too long to recognize and respond to the severity of the situation.

Explanation: Criticism focused on the slow, disorganized federal response and perceived lack of leadership (FEMA coordination problems, delays in sending aid and rescuers). Warnings about the storm were issued by the National Weather Service and local authorities, and hurricanes themselves cannot be “prevented,” so the main complaint was the inadequate and delayed response.
