To be fair to local leaders (I'm reserving judgement on state leaders), there wasn't any communication to do the asking the federal government was bound by law to wait for. The tales of bureaucrats telling them that they needed to do things that were just impossible to do are now legendary.
There needs to be something done to allow the process to be bypassed when the phones, satellite phones, cell phones, faxes, etc. are down.
But I wouldn't change from the form of government we have for anything.
