Now contrary to ALL the many reports...
FEMA does use a grid system for discovering and distributing aide. And if you actually can find them to check in...you can coordinate with them to deliver all sorts of supplies, emergency Healthcare, psychological counseling and etc.
Now Samaritans purse not only has fully trained manpower but warehouses and trailers and trucks full and ready to move. logistics is crucial here. Shower trailers, washer and dryers for clothes, soup kitchens providing food and tents (heated and cooled if need be) for staff barracks.
They do work with FEMA and are usually first on the scene. Red Cross shows up for the pictures and disappears. Also Salvation Army will also be on site doing the work to help those who must remain as well. They will have clothing and supplies as well.
Currently, they have enough food. But it's definitely Fall in the Appalachians. Leaves changing colors and frosty mornings. Cold weather gear is going to be needed. (All sizes and styles) there aren't any stores open to purchase any and Amazon ain't delivering for a few years yet.
Insulated work gloves might be good too. Mud boots. Long John's, and wool boot socks as well as plaid flannel shirts, lined blue jeans, jackets, and etc.
So....if there is a drive for goods and assistance in your area for Appalachian or East GA....these are the things they currently need. Or if you want to donate....I recommend Samaritans Purse or Salvation Army. I do NOT recommend Red Cross.
By the way....Franklin is the spitting image of his daddy lately.
