English term or phrase: is not coping at all.
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra due persone a proposito di un disastro ambientale.

A: I’m sure you’ve been following the news. It’s a catastrophe out there. FEMA is not coping at all.

La mia proposta:

A: Sono sicuro che stai seguendo le notizie. È una catastrofe là fuori. La Protezione Civile non non ce la fa proprio.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.

non sta facendo fronte


Explanation:
Il senso cambia a seconda del verbo: la Protezione Civile non ha le risorse per far fronte alla situazione (non riesce a)? Oppure sì, ma non ha comunque la situazione sotto controllo (non sta facendo fronte/fronteggiando). Bisognerebbe riflettere meglio sul contesto.
