In the center of Mariupol, there are many destroyed buildings, but also a lot of reconstruction happening. The team was able to freely travel and speak with people in the city. Mariupol is not a ghost town, as people are living their lives there. There is electricity, heating, running water, and internet available. Shops and restaurants are open. The speaker did not mention any restrictions or surveillance.

Speaker 0 is concerned about feeding the whole town. Speaker 1 is not allowed to cross the bridge and suggests going through CSRD. Speaker 3 mentions liability on their property. Speaker 1 questions why resources are being wasted on this situation. Speaker 2 explains that nobody is allowed to cross the bridge due to an order. Speaker 1 asks for the reason behind the order, but Speaker 2 only mentions following instructions. Speaker 3 emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need to save houses from the fire.

The relative is trying to clear fallen trees to leave the area, assuming the roads are still intact after potential mudslides. Many families outside of Charlotte are searching for loved ones in the affected region, but information is scarce.

The speaker is providing an update because people keep asking what's going on. They are rotated off and supposed to be asleep but can't sleep. They state that they are doing as they're told and doing the best they can. The speaker explains that they can't reach certain locations with Humvees due to mudslides, landslides, size constraints, and rubble. They are learning information and trying to relay it, but can't share everything. Approvals are needed before using alternative methods like animals or 4-wheelers. The speaker says they are giving out food and water and helping people, but there's a chain of command, limiting what they can do. If they are told "no," they have to comply. They understand the frustration, but there's nothing they can do. Civilians can do whatever they want, but those in uniform must answer to someone and can only do so much.

The speaker states that the situation in Florida is tragic and they are trying to ascertain the exact number of victims with the help of their FEMA advisor. There is a discrepancy between FEMA's numbers and those used by locals. The speaker describes the photographs as stunning and notes the wide area affected. The government has provided everything they have and was on the ground ahead of time, working hard. They have already planned a significant amount of resources, even though they hadn't been asked for them yet.

Speaker 0: You guys still having water problems? Yeah. Yeah. No water. No water problems. No water alone.

Volunteers are providing the majority of hurricane relief in the Swannanoa area, with some traveling from other states to assist. According to one speaker, this is happening 8 or 9 days post-hurricane. A speaker states that they had not seen a FEMA agent. One speaker reports that the first FEMA truck they saw arrived Thursday afternoon/evening, but it was parked without signage or information. According to the speakers, residents report that the only help they have received has been from private citizens and neighbors. One speaker claims that the only information they received about FEMA was an attempt to stop volunteer efforts, including a medical support trailer staffed by licensed doctors and nurses, because it was not federally controlled. One speaker states that they saw one FEMA helicopter. Another speaker states that today was the first FEMA delivery they had seen or heard of in the region.

Yesterday, about 30 planes delivered supplies to Western North Carolina. FEMA has flown in 10 or more helicopters, blocking a runway at Greenville Downtown Airport and taking over a hangar. According to the speaker, FEMA halted the previous operation, where about 30 planes were used to transport supplies to areas like Asheville. The speaker claims the FEMA helicopters are "just sitting there doing nothing," while "1,000 of pounds of supplies" remain unactioned.

Water tanks, wheat stocks, and bakeries in Gaza City are under threat of bombing, causing a shortage of bread and clean drinking water for the past four days. The lack of electricity hinders the availability of clean water, making even the water obtained from Ngozana undrinkable.

The speaker claims the mayor is out of the country while the city is burning, and there is no water in the Palisades, calling it absolute mismanagement. They state the water ran out around 4:45 PM the previous day, and most fire hydrants are down or above pressure. The speaker questions the mayor's decision to go to Ghana, alleging there were weather warnings beforehand. The speaker accuses someone named Karen of unlawfully deleting texts and calls her a total disaster. A resident says their house is destroyed and their child keeps asking when they can go home. The speaker concludes this is a story of absolute and total incompetence. Emergency information, resources, and shelter are available at URL.

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.

We're witnessing the aftermath of the hurricane 50 days later. Many residents express frustration over the lack of FEMA assistance. One homeowner, facing eviction from a hotel, is preparing to live in a tent with her children. Volunteers are helping with cleanup, but they rely on private donations, not government support. The community is still reeling from the storm's devastation, with reports of missing individuals and ongoing health hazards from sewage leaks. 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 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 visited two locations and were directed to the FEMA command post, but they claim FEMA won't allow them to do anything besides directing traffic. They are at a standstill and may head towards Newport or Jonesboro. The speaker expresses shock at the devastation, noting one side of the river is wiped out, including the hospital where people are stranded. They claim nobody is allowing them to start cleanup efforts and they may end up working in a different town.

People with the Navy are in another area. Trucks have been turned away for the last 2 days. Trucks and trucks and trucks have been turned away. Water trucks had to come back full. Two clear loads of water were turned around and told no. People are coming from Alabama, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

We're mobilizing the Army Corps of Engineers to address urgent needs like fixing riverbanks and roads. I've instructed my team to prepare them for action. It's unclear why progress was slow under the previous administration, but we are now moving forward. In the last couple of days, we've made significant strides, and I assure you that we will provide the necessary resources and support throughout the rebuilding process. No American will be left behind.

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.

We ran out of water in the first tank around 4:45 PM, the second tank at 8:30 PM, and the third tank at 3 AM. The tents help manage pressure on the fire hydrants, but the demand for water exceeded our supply capabilities. While there is water in the trunk line, it cannot reach the hill quickly enough to fill the tanks. By 3 AM, all fire hydrants in the Palisades were dry. We are sending 20 water tanks to support the fire department, and it takes about 30 minutes to refill each tank. Due to the high demand, water quality in ZIP code 90272 is declining, prompting a boil water notice for the next 48 hours due to ash contamination. Please boil water before consumption.

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.

A flight of pediatric medical supplies was brought in and is going to North Asheville. Four FEMA representatives arrived on a private jet. Mission Hospital was told it will be the morgue center for body recovery. The Army Chinook helicopters are doing body recovery. FEMA stated they are too tied up at the border to send more representatives and will not be sending refrigerated trucks. The speaker claims to have overheard that the fatality numbers being reported should have a couple of zeros added to them. A private hospital and the army are taking over body recovery, and private individuals are flying in supplies. There were supplies for the Cajun Navy and ASPCA being sent by private individuals. The speaker asserts that FEMA is doing nothing.

They have obligated some funds, but only distributed 2%. The speaker suggests visiting the affected area and talking to the people on the ground instead of relying on politicians' words. Almost two weeks after the storm, people had not been provided the resources they desperately needed. Thirteen days after the storm, people were still being rescued and were stuck in higher elevations because the roads were down. They need every available resource and all hands on deck. The rescue and recovery efforts are still ongoing.

Speaker 0 mentions that there may be no activity until Friday at the Rockville crossing. Cece has agreed to open it up for humanitarian assistance, specifically for trucks to pass through. Speaker 0 expresses frustration and apologizes, but explains that only up to 20 trucks will be allowed.

They emptied most of the tank on our house but left some for emergencies. While waiting, they used our hose to fill it up. The hoses weren’t connected, and there was no water available. They kept a little in the tank because the fire was approaching, and they needed to be ready. The fire hydrants reportedly had no water, which is concerning. Despite the urgency of the situation, they took time to clarify the story. It seems odd that they would pause to explain while trying to manage a fire.

Day 10 after the hurricane in North Carolina, the speaker is at an airport in Boone, where Elon Musk provided several hundred Starlink units. The speaker is deploying in a second wave on Blackhawk helicopters into isolated areas to deliver the units. The first deployment will provide internet access for prescriptions and allow residents to communicate their needs. Upon arrival, locals reported that no aid, including FEMA, had reached them yet, and they felt abandoned.

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 visited two locations and were directed to the FEMA command post, but they claim FEMA won't allow them to do anything besides directing traffic. They are at a standstill and may head towards Newport or Jonesboro. The speaker expresses shock at the devastation, noting one part of town is destroyed while the rest looks okay. 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.

We ran out of water in the first tank around 4:45 PM yesterday, the second tank at 8:30 PM, and the third tank at 3 AM. The tents help manage pressure on the fire hydrants, but the water consumption exceeded our supply rate. Although there is water in the trunk line, it can't reach the hill quickly enough to refill the tanks. By 3 AM, all fire hydrants in Pacific Palisades ran dry. We are sending 20 water tanks to support the fire department and working to refill them. Due to high demand, water quality in ZIP code 90272 is declining, prompting a boil water notice for 48 hours due to ash contamination. Please boil water before drinking.
