The inconvenience was ignoring the experts advice. They might have said something along the lines of make sure you have water, the ability to use it (hello Maui), and people who know how to use it. Or maybe they thought that was needless to say and had more advanced advice like clearing dead brush, making fire breaks, etc. Or ... Well yeah. It would be nice to know what advice was ignored. I'm sure there was plenty in that category.
