Rourke: Below is a post from a buddy of mine who has made a couple trips to the areas of North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Just got back last night from our second trip to WNC after delivering relief supplies to several needed communities.
The number one thing the disaster zone EXEMPLIFIES is the fact that you can not and should not rely upon anything the government tells you, or even take them seriously.I watched a local EOC team show up for the first time yesterday in a community 3 WEEKS after the disaster. The community turned them away.This same community (to remain anonymous) has banded together with support from both locals and outsiders to help rebuild not only the state/county roads but also the local infrastructure in their small area. The county had not even made contact with them during this entire time, meanwhile last week we brought in a truck and trailer and this week we brought in 5 trucks.It is absolutely imperative that you and your community build relationships NOW, and ready yourselves for self aid. You cannot rely on official support or assistance in a widespread disaster.
A few pictures Ralph took:
Keep prepping folks!
Pretty sad to see this happen. It just tells how our own government really sees us. They could care less about our needs when something like this happens.
Right RC. This stolen White House is spending FEMA money on illegal aliens and sending it to Ukraine.
