Due to FEMA taking over the old ATLD and restricting access to their own assets, more state helicopters are coming to RHLZ, which is an open system that welcomes any helicopter as long as they bring supplies. The frequency is 122 decimal 75, and they are open until sundown. The speaker uses an ops board, similar to flight data in a tower, to track helicopter missions.

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.

The speaker thanks supporters for sharing a video that went viral, leading to support from congressmen and private sector helicopter assistance. Civilian helicopters are actively flying rescue missions. Government military support is reportedly en route. Flights are typically delayed until 9:30 or 10 AM due to fog, but a temporary flight restriction (TFR) due to Joe Biden's visit is further impeding rescue efforts. Search and rescue teams are being deployed to the mountains via helicopter before the TFR goes into effect. The helicopters must then travel to another airport to obtain a special code allowing them to fly during the TFR. No rescue missions will occur between approximately 12 PM and 4 PM due to the TFR. If the TFR is lifted around 4 PM as scheduled, only two rescue missions will likely be possible before nightfall. The speaker suggests that political considerations are hindering rescue operations during favorable weather conditions.

Speaker 0: We have several vehicles entering the area, including those from the Moscow Region Government and the Ministry of Defense. Speaker 1: When will there be water and electricity?

Speaker 1: What about the garbage? Speaker 0: For the past two months, we only have eight garbage trucks for such a large city. We need more trucks for disposal.

The biggest problem after the hurricane is being unable to move; roads are blocked, and people are trapped. There's a lot of looting, so people should stay safe and keep a weapon if they have one, because people are intentionally sabotaging things. Truckers coming in with supplies on I-40 had their tires slashed while they were resting at a truck stop. Nothing was stolen, just vandalized. The same thing is happening all over. There is also looting in all the stores. The speaker will provide another update in 5 or 6 hours.

A helicopter pilot flew into a disaster area to help people. He instructed his copilot, who was also his son, to help people board the helicopter, and then flew them to safety.

They are interrupting our ability to conduct missions. A security guard at a hotel said the entire hotel was booked for federal employees, so people pulled out of a mountain had no place to go.

The speaker wants people to understand how incredible the organization, Save Our Allies, is and all the work that the volunteers are doing. This is biblical level devastation and apocalyptic.

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.

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.

The 911 operator said they were overwhelmed with calls and could only advise getting to higher ground.

FEMA is confiscating supplies, reportedly from government-owned buildings like schools, though their purpose is unknown. The Red Cross intercepted a generator delivery intended for another organization by convincing the driver to donate to them instead. FEMA has offered temporary housing to some, but only after other groups cleared access. FEMA doesn't assist with driveway or bridge repairs, which is problematic for residents needing river crossings to reach their homes.

The National Guard is present and helpful, but their limited interaction with civilian groups is a challenge, though understandable due to safety protocols.

They question why capable individuals and resources are being prevented from helping those in dire circumstances.

The speaker's team smelled dead bodies in a specific area, also finding a cowboy boot. They located dog handlers from the Raleigh Fire Department, but the handlers refused to investigate the area, stating it was in the middle of their grid. Shortly after, the dog handlers and FEMA left due to security reasons. The speaker's team brought in the New York National Guard to search, but they don't have dogs. The speaker notes that the only dog teams seen were female-led and expresses frustration with a disrespectful FEMA representative who refused to help and then left.

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. The speaker is angry because the government isn't helping despite the destruction and lack of news coverage. Children are orphaned and people are dying.

A man was arrested for delivering food via helicopter for interfering with a nonexistent government operation. The speaker is disgusted by the government's treatment of Americans, especially compared to foreign aid. They call politicians traitors.
