This is exactly why the executive should not be responsible for doing this, but instead the slower-moving legislature, so that changing the policy requires Congress to act rather than the whim of the current executive. Congress is utterly unwilling to exercise any power, and instead wants to hand off power to regulatory bodies run by the executive.

It is up to the executive to prioritize the resources. If the legislature tried to write laws that cover those kind of contingencies it would be ludicrous, a tremendous waste of time, and certainly a separation of powers issue.
