Lauren, a Black Mountain resident, describes the devastation in Swannanoa after Hurricane Helene and questions the lack of government assistance. Despite paying taxes since age 14, she feels $750 is insufficient aid. She notes the area doesn't typically require flood insurance due to its high elevation. Lauren highlights the absence of the military in the relief efforts, contrasting it with the presence of World Central Kitchen. Ten days post-storm, many are still missing and lack communication and water. She claims the news reports 300 deaths, but asserts that around 2,000 unidentified bodies are in bags, recovered by neighbors. Military personnel require personal leave to volunteer. Lauren expresses anger and frustration, emphasizing the community's reliance on volunteers and donations for basic needs. She says 30% of Swannanoa residents are still unaccounted for.

An individual with firefighting, rescue, swift water rescue training, and equipment operation experience wanted to help in the Asheville, North Carolina area.

They criticize the government's response, claiming the news underreports the devastation and that FEMA lacks sufficient funds. They recount delivering donations and learning from a local that many people are trapped and dying in their homes. Bridges are wiped out, and roads are inaccessible due to landslides, making access nearly impossible. The only hope for those trapped is the National Guard and helicopters. The speaker witnessed numerous private helicopters, including retired Coast Guard helicopters, rapidly deploying supplies with no government planes in sight. They express heartbreak at the scale of the destruction, stating the town is gone and recovery will take at least a decade. Despite exhaustion, they plan to continue delivering supplies and implore others to donate.

However, sheriffs and fire departments are allegedly banding together, threatening to arrest any federal employee interfering with local rescue efforts.

The speaker notes the center receives federal funding from the Department of Interior and criticizes FEMA's control over water distribution. The speaker accuses authorities of trying to suppress information and stop citizens from helping each other, similar to the events of January 6th. They encourage investigation into the WNC Nature Center, its tourism development fund, and the Department of Interior. The speaker asserts they will not be silenced and will continue reporting the truth, supported by multiple sources and ongoing relief efforts.

The volunteers were sent home, and the company had to call in staff to pack up. Refrigerators full of insulin and breast milk had to be thrown away. No reason was given, and no one came to replace them. The speaker suggests that disaster responses are being controlled, and people should help others without seeking permission. The speaker believes we are approaching a time where actions will be for one side or the other, framing it as good versus evil.

Residents feel abandoned by the government, questioning where the promised aid is. Amidst the chaos, volunteers are working tirelessly to assist those affected, but the bureaucratic response has been inadequate.

The speaker is in Boone, North Carolina, volunteering with canines for search and rescue efforts. They were told to avoid FEMA agents because FEMA is allegedly confiscating supplies. According to people associated with the speaker's volunteer group, FEMA is taking these supplies to sanctuary areas for illegal migrants while telling locals they have no money. The speaker claims to have witnessed similar behavior from FEMA in Puerto Rico during and after Hurricanes Maria and Irma, where the Coast Guard had to distribute supplies directly due to FEMA's actions. The speaker asserts that FEMA is doing the same thing in North Carolina. The speaker is heading to a different area via helicopter to search for missing families. They advise viewers not to donate to FEMA but to find legitimate people to donate through.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, doing disaster security and search and rescue for dialysis patients. This is a war zone, but the military isn't here, unlike during Hurricane Katrina. The American people should be angry at the government's inaction. People are hurting and dying. I saw young children searching for their parents and brought them to a church. The military is being restrained by DOD executives. The government isn't helping us, so we must take care of ourselves. Towns are self-policing. We need water, food, and clothes. I'm grateful for my motel room but feel guilty. A man was arrested for dropping off food in the mountains because he was supposedly interfering with a government operation, but there are no operations happening. It's sickening how the government treats Americans, offering minimal aid after sending billions overseas. Mayorkas is a traitor.

FEMA told the speaker they can't get them a phone. The speaker has no ID or way to pay for food or gas and is stuck sleeping in a leaking car, wearing the same clothes since a 30-foot wall of water pushed through to Lake Lewer. The speaker's house washed away, and they lost their cat and two geckos. It was a miracle they made it. When the speaker called 911, they were told to get to higher ground as the waters came into the house. The 911 operator said they were overwhelmed with calls and could only advise getting to higher ground.

Asheville and the area towards Hendersonville look bombed out. People are trapped in the Appalachian mountains since Hurricane Helene hit seven days ago, and the military can't help without the leader's approval. News isn't covering the extent of the damage in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Coastal states' hurricane damage differs because the ocean recedes, leaving structures. Here, people have nothing left. The situation in North Carolina is especially dire. The speaker claims the death toll will surpass Katrina's, as many off-grid residents, hikers, and homeless people in the mountains are unaccounted for. Bodies are washing up, and some North Carolina counties have already filled 1,000 body bags and need more. The speaker insists this disaster is unprecedented for the region, unlike anything they've experienced before, because they don't have an ocean that comes in and then sucks back out.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, doing disaster security and search and rescue for dialysis patients. This is a war zone, but unlike Hurricane Katrina, the military isn't here.

Prayers are requested for those affected and those helping. I will provide updates as I hear from Matt.

The speaker criticizes the government's response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and Tennessee, stating there has been no government aid.

The government is allegedly threatening to arrest people delivering supplies via helicopter. Meanwhile, civilians are organizing aid, with one man in Burnsville, North Carolina, named Warren, going door-to-door to check on people and posting a list of names on Facebook.
