Just so everyone's expectations are clear, this is the way it'll always play out
Day of:
wall to wall media coverage
non-stop social media anecdotes and commentary from public figures
all politicians extending thoughts, prayers, and offers of assistance
Day after
politicians on the scene, photo ops, press conferences making all kinds of promises
wall to wall media coverage
hundreds of different charities and GoFundMes up and running, donations pouring in
Week after
media coverage mixed with newer unrelated stories, in-depth stories from first responders and victims
social media attention drops off
charities still seeing support
politicians continue with thoughts and prayers, but all commitments if any are made are vague and noncommittal
Month after
no more mainstream media, any media attention will come from partisan sources making a story of the government failing to honor its promises to help the affected people and communities
social media will consist of people sharing the partisan stories
donations will have slowed to a trickle
politicians will stop talking about it, and when asked about it will have a canned response that in no way, shape, or form, helps anyone
Thereafter
no media at all
basically no charity at all
politicians will neither lift a finger nor spend a dime on rebuilding or helping any of the victims
victims will try to speak out about how the safety net wasn't there when they needed it, and their stories will be ignored
