FEMA is not providing adequate support; they seem more focused on their comfort than helping those in need. The local FEMA office closes early, making it hard for working people to access assistance.

There's frustration over the disparity in treatment, with immigrants receiving better accommodations while locals struggle in campers. This reflects a deeper issue of neglect towards the community.

An individual with firefighting, rescue, swift water rescue training, and equipment operation experience wanted to help in the Asheville, North Carolina area. Despite contacting the fire department, the county emergency management division said they didn't need additional resources. The speaker then saw a TikTok video about a family of 11 who died waiting for help that never arrived.

Dan Patton in Moorestown reports that authorities are turning away aid convoys before they reach affected areas, and seizing supplies, locking them in buildings. Even those with equipment are being denied access to help. The speaker proposes a large group travel to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area this Friday, then proceed onward, possibly through the national park and Cherokee. The goal is inundation, making it impossible to stop them. The speaker is unwilling to return with unused supplies while victims suffer, comparing it to "Hawaii." They believe FEMA is failing and that collective action is needed to deliver aid directly. The speaker emphasizes the urgent need for supplies, especially clothes, as winter approaches.

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.

A person's friend has been running trips to Western North Carolina to deliver medicine, food, and water, rescue people, and recover bodies. The speaker had claimed the government was interfering, but the friend said there was no malfeasance, just that the government was bloated and slow. However, a government entity arrived at the Hickory Airport and told them to immediately stop their flights and leave within two hours. 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.

FEMA is present but hindering rescue missions. Federal employees are occupying hotel rooms while rescue personnel lack accommodation.

A resident of Augusta, Georgia, recounts the aftermath of a storm and expresses frustration with the government's response, particularly Kamala Harris's message of immediate assistance. Despite Harris's suggestion to apply online for FEMA aid, many residents lack power and internet. The speaker applied to FEMA but was denied due to homeowner's insurance. The speaker criticizes the promised "$750 in immediate help," questioning its practicality given the extensive damage, including lost food and downed trees. They describe predatory contractors offering immediate tree removal services at high costs, such as $3,500 for crane rental plus hourly groundwork fees, requiring upfront payment with the promise of later insurance reimbursement. The speaker feels Harris's visit was insensitive and out of touch with the reality on the ground, where the scale of the devastation is overwhelming and immediate solutions are lacking.

The speaker is at a donation center with a pavilion and many pallets of water. They are trying to figure out where they're going to be working with local firemen in the "bat area."

They claim nobody is allowing them to start cleanup efforts and they may end up working in a different town.

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.

FEMA is playing a game of FAFO because free men don't ask for permission. The speaker urges everyone to donate and help those in need.

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 speaker's organization is focused on rebuilding infrastructure. The National Guard is present and helpful, but their limited interaction with civilian groups is a challenge, though understandable due to safety protocols.

The speaker mentions that the government is withholding their donations because they are not affiliated with FEMA and Red Cross. They express confusion about this decision.

They encourage those in need to access the supplies by cracking the lock. The speaker urges others to spread the word about the available resources.

They highlight videos of people fighting for water and express anger and emotional distress at the situation, contrasting it with their own family's comfort.

Do not give supplies to FEMA for Hurricane Helene survivors. FEMA is not doing what they are supposed to be doing and doesn't care about people. They are not helping people, but taking supplies and giving them to people who don't need them or running off with them. Donate supplies to a church or nonprofit instead. FEMA has been knocking on doors, not offering help, just asking what's going on.

FEMA is allegedly halting search and rescue efforts because people are angry about receiving limited aid after their homes were destroyed. The speaker claims FEMA is willing to spend billions on foreign wars and undocumented immigrants, but not on its own citizens.

The speaker advocates rebelling against FEMA and what they call "pay for force."

Following a Fox News interview, the speakers report widespread frustration regarding the lack of federal assistance after a disaster. Small businesses are allegedly caught between the Small Business Administration and FEMA, facing rejection from both and struggling to pay workers without tourist income. Locals are also reportedly being denied FEMA aid for expenses like generators and chainsaws, despite having submitted receipts. The speakers contrast this with COVID relief, where money was distributed without extensive applications. They express anger that neighbors and volunteers are the primary source of help, questioning why tax dollars aren't providing adequate disaster relief. FEMA's $20 billion budget is questioned, as neighbors are the ones clearing roads and removing trees. They claim Samaritan's Purse, not FEMA, aided a friend, and that FEMA is behind on flood zone mapping. The disaster's impact extends beyond river areas and Asheville, affecting people two hours away. World Central Kitchen is reportedly staying longer than in any other US city due to the lack of infrastructure and clean water. They urge disaster relief organizations to provide assistance, including dump trucks and chainsaws.

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. The military is being "hamstrung" by DOD executives. Towns are self-policing, and locals are welcoming help. The area needs water, food, and clothes. 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.

They mention a wiped-out area across the river and a stranded hospital. They claim they are unable to get boots on the ground to start cleanup and may end up in a different town.

I’m really upset. We came to Western North Carolina to help hurricane victims, volunteering on private land. After a day, three people arrived claiming to be in charge. They were from FEMA but didn’t reveal it. They took medical supplies and tried to control our actions, even telling us we couldn’t go on search and rescue missions. Meanwhile, the local community is struggling, with many still missing and in need. FEMA's presence has been more about taking than helping, while local volunteers and organizations are the ones truly assisting. We’re ensuring that any donations we raised go directly to those in need, not to these organizations. Just a heads up: be cautious of how government agencies operate during disasters.
