Nigga I talked to the guy at my Church who’s one of the heads of the men’s group and a Knight of Columbus member. He’s talking to guys on the ground about what he needs ti buy and anything he needs to worry about when he drives down to drop off shit.
Because you need proper limited controlled access highways for shipping things long distance.
Okay I don't think anyone has pictures of the hundreds of bodies. However looking at the devastation that occurred this is on the level of Johnstown flooding.
What? My brother in Christ, there are feds, staties, charity volunteers, and relief workers from 19 different states deployed under EMAC. Congress has authorized $14.8bn for Helene relief in addition to FEMA funds, and an additional $20m has been authorized specifically for individuals impacted by Helene.
those hill dont look that steep.
east germany, alot of old forest and cliffs.
so the paths for horses are still free? that sounds strange. Yes helicopters are much better but it looks like they have issues with them.
You only need to cut the trees and thats all. Also stay away from the water, thats danger with no upside.
you can cut very very long roads into a forest in pretty short time. a forest isnt that dense in trees and you only need 4 meters, thats one tree every couple of hundred meters. but well sling loading a pallet of water and MREs and airlifting it is much faster and alot less demanding.
Vehicles are heavy, even when they’re not laden with supplies for isolated rural communities, with a relatively small footprint for their weight. If all you did was clear cut trees, you would be lucky if the fifth truck wasn’t bottomed out by the wheel ruts; more likely you’d swamp the first vehicle to drive in to start clearing trees. You need packed ground, even dirt roads act like a subterranean dam to the flow of ground water because of it.
There was also hundreds of palets of water that rotted away at the air fields/ports and never got distributed by the puerto rican government.
The lack of initial response was from fema early on, this was a disaster thst caught everyone napping. This doesn't mean that there haven't been herculean efforts to clear shit up. But the damage sustained is still going to fuck logistics and supply chains for weeks at best and months at worst.
you are not supposed to use your f150. Some of your 500 agency will have decent trucks for the job. we use Unimogs, they never get stuck, they come with all kinds of addons that can be swapped very fast and they can pull trains.
i was talking about a supply road, rebuilding those roads will take aloooong time.
Because for most people they directly know someone affected by Katrina. If you live in Texas you at least remember the Katrina crime wave. Also Katrina was also the first public case of the feds directly interjecting themselves into a situation and making things worse.
I didn't realize Samaritan's Purse has teams of engineers that can manage to open up an interstate that had been totally swept away within a week.
Retard, they're pulling trains on packed ground. And it wouldn't be one or two, it'd be hundreds; you know, hauling relief for the tens of thousands of people further isolated by the hurricane. It would be an impassible swamp within hours. Even dry ground would get torn up, let alone soft podzol.
Again local efforts did more on the ground help than fema or most of the large offical NGOs. This isn't for the lack of trying even on a good day a storm of this magnitude.
People forget puerto rico because they found a few warehouses and runways full of untouched relief supplies in 2020. All the aid from the mainland was just sitting around while the pr government was saying "trump bad". A runway full of bottled water that actually went bad from being neglected in the hot sun for weeks on end. warehouses in the cities full of cots, rations and blankets.
The country still functions like any other Carribean state despite having been under American influence for over a hundred years.
How does bottled water go bad?
Plastic leeches into the water and makes it taste extremely foul. I've worked in a warehouse in the summer and while heat fouled bottled water won't kill you right away it's definitely not good long term.
Fine, imagine the Black Forest then. Steep mountains and deep narrow valleys.
While @Stoneheart is a precious retard, he's not exactly wrong. Some of you are acting like building roads in the mountains is some lost Roman technology.
