Buttplug ordered a suspension of private drone use in Hurricane Helene flood zone

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has ordered a suspension of private drone flights in North Carolina’s Hurricane Helene flood zone, only to backtrack amid intense backlash.
quote:
However, instead of expediting rescue efforts, FEMA and the Biden administration seem more focused on suppressing the efforts of private citizens who stepped up where the federal response has faltered.
Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation took to social media to announce, Drone pilots: Do not fly your drone near or around rescue and recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene. Interfering with emergency response operations impacts search and rescue operations on the ground.”
quote:
Many on social media rightfully pointed out the absurdity of the ban.
One user wrote, “The USDOT and FAA don’t know drones are saving lives and aiding rescue efforts by flying insulin to inaccessible regions, locating trapped and isolated individuals, and providing imagery to the world.”
quote:
Another pointed out, “Oh, this is so damn stupid. People are getting baby formula, insulin and food this way after being without help from our federal government for “6” days.”
quote:
Buttigieg and FEMA’s mishandling of this disaster is not just an issue of bureaucratic red tape—it’s a deliberate attempt to control the narrative. FEMA’s lies and obfuscations have left North Carolinians in the dark, both figuratively and literally.
The federal government, instead of empowering its citizens to help, has taken unprecedented steps to stifle their efforts.
Adding insult to injury, Buttigieg’s order was followed by a weak clarification from the Department of Transportation after the backlash became too loud to ignore.
“The USDOT tweet from yesterday was referring to temporary flight restrictions that were in place but were lifted late last night,” a DOT spokesperson told Fox News Thursday.

People don't realize that the radical left doesn't want you to fend for yourself. Only papa government can take care of you.

It’s a saving face move because no one was listening to him anyway.

They might be doing it for the safety of the helicopter traffic.
But they should be innovative enough to figure out how to do both. They need both.

Operating Near Hurricane Helene Recovery Efforts
Immense recovery efforts are underway at the federal, state and local levels following Hurricane Helene and they require close coordination. The airspace around the recovery efforts in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee have high levels of aviation activity, including small airplanes, helicopters, and drones. The FAA’s goal at all times is to ensure safety and help facilitate this critical work.
At the request of local authorities or law enforcement, the Federal Aviation Administration can issue Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) to ensure safety for aircraft conducting Hurricane Helene rescue and recovery activities. These TFRs do not ban aircraft, including drones, from providing disaster relief and recovery assistance. State and local authorities may also enact local restrictions. Relief operations, including civilian and volunteer operations, may access the restricted airspace if they are coordinated with emergency responders. In a dynamic and quickly evolving environment like this, TFRs are constantly shifting and you can find the latest online here: LINK

He tried to stop Fox from flying drones to video the migrant surge across the Rio Grande and (he - not the drones) was quickly shot down.

This is the underlying message being repeated ad nauseum on the local level here. Why is Richmond county getting all the free stuff, we want it here too in Columbia county....the imported libs into Columbia county can't handle this reality.

frick that, if I were in that area I’d do whatever it takes…
Posted on 10/6/24 at 11:21 am to Major Dutch Schaefer
Hmmm......wonder if this has ever been done with any other disaster area? I wonder if it is standard operating procedure for disaster areas with high volumes of air traffic? Anywho, there's no reason for me to look into any of that. I'm sure if that were the case someone would tell me.

True, democrats let people die for political purposes then as well.

No surprise. It is not as if he is qualified for the job. He wouldn't have been considered if he was a heterosexual.
