    Youd think the local car dealerships would all be pitching in with a box van or van. Come on dealerships. These local people support your needs by buying your new cars and all. So have them sign a liability form so you aren't held liable for anything. God forbid. Help your people out. Do some type of online donation fundraiser from the surrounding states. For a van or box truck or just a full length bed truck.

    I’m puzzled as to why FEMA can’t at least say what they PLAN to do. They are setting up 3 large camp areas in the NC area & the one video I saw showed a lot of mobile homes and tornado shelters that they said would be used to house the FEMA workers. They didn’t say what the workers would be doing though.
    They could get some positive PR if they would tell people they plan to help rebuild houses, or clean out debris.

    • @DownSouth_Adventures

    It’s unimaginable what has happened to all the people affected over such a vast area. Some places are now just barely accessible to locals, and it’s crucial that onlookers and media do not interfere with recovery efforts. The cleanup will likely take the better part of five years, so we need to lower our expectations for a return to normalcy anytime soon. If you hold a biased view against federal efforts, you will likely never be satisfied with anything they do. You often preach about self-reliance, so...
