Was able to get up into Burnsville with an "organized" group that was supposed to have local FD authorization and specific working area.. found a group of drunk/high dudes on sxs's playing search n' rescue mad max style.
Dropped them immediately and reported to South Toe FD with a just myself and 1 other to get orders for wellness checks/medical evals and supply shuttle to unreachable by truck areas. People are weary of help and don't want to be bombarded with 10 rigs of stuff being thrown at them for facebook cred.
Takeaways:
-Burnsville is flooded with supplies, access roads are being built to get it where it needs to go. Local FD can use help with remote supply distribution.
-South Toe area is working through wellness checks and roads are being worked on. Remote supply drop help can be used.
-People in those affected areas are strong and independent, its important to give them the help they need.. not what we think they need.
-Contact the local FD directly and maintain the same respect/privacy you expect when people are on your doorstep.
