There is an attitute in the frum community “Hashem controls everything”, I am not debating that, however when someone is sick, you dont say that, you go to the doctor and get the medicine and THEN you can say that.
However I really heard people say that exact thing before Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Sandy and they did not evacuate Far Rockaway.
Is it such a terrible mussur to remind people that while we must realize hashem controls everything, we must also do whatever it is in our power to help ourselves and then ask Hashem for help. ie check your batteries on a working smoke dector and trust in hashem that it will go off when its supposed to.
