#4 "there’s no way we’re gonna find someone up here or a place to land. I saw him flashing a mirror. A mirror is a great signaling device.”" A burning spare tire is an even better signaling device in clear daytime conditions. I've found no online mention of CB, FRS and GMRS radios being used to communicate with those marooned by Helene. Big box stores all over the affected areas have been selling them for many years now. It's hard to believe these haven't already been used multiple times for rescue & relief purposes. FCC requires amateur radio licenses for 2M transceivers, which have been available for <$25 for years now -- license requirements do not apply during emergencies. Keeping all these charged for more than a few days is a problem. Generators and vehicles can be used for charging with DC DC converters but many aren't aware this can be done, and many don't have these readily available.

#5 "There was a man ..." Many such statements are easily found in info leaking out of the disaster area. Almost never are individuals named.

#6 it's actually true that emergency services have to control a disaster zone and not let in any unknown volunteers for very good reason

sometimes they say they are helping but instead loot or do worse to survivors.

That's why firefighters always have control of hte ground (in australia)

Volunteers are best to volunteer through established services not go it alone, because they can expect to be told not to go in. Nobody can tell if they are looters or not, that is the problem

Also even if well-intentioned, they can become a casualty

#7 There are instances in which you don't wait for 'authorities'. You don't ask from some power hungry individual a "mother may I". When the people start to finally arrive, they should coordinate not shut down efforts till they can replace the workers on the ground. Till then either lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

#8 Random, previously un-met individuals thrown together in chaotic circumstances are self organizing in real time, before our very eyes better than over paid govt 'professionals'.

#11 Historically, Americans have stepped in to help others in bad situations, less so recently. In order to get Americans to back off an authority has to demonstrate that they are taking decisive, organized and effective action. Since Abbey Gate, the Biden Administration has demonstrated everything but capability. Nobody trusts or respects Fed authority currently.
