In times of a national crisis due to a natural disaster, the president primarily takes on the role of chief of state. This role involves providing leadership, addressing the nation, and symbolizing national unity and resilience during difficult times. While the president may also exercise functions related to being the commander in chief (especially if the military is involved in disaster response) and may interact with other political leaders as party leader and chief diplomat, the immediate role in the context of a natural disaster focuses on being the chief of state.
