re: FEMA is confiscating supplies?

I'm not saying that. What I am saying is that there are conflicting reports that few here bother to question. Yesterday there were X posts about how private rescues were stopped by the government for the last few days. Then there were posts that private rescues were the only ones actually happening the last few days. So which is it? There was a third report that the government wasn't rescuing many at all. On Thursday though, hundreds were rescued. So who did it? The private rescuers who were made to stand down on the government who wasn't bothering to rescue anyone?
Same with your OP. A day or 2 ago FEMA was being criticized for not taking donations or allowing private citizens to bring in food and supplies. They were reported to be telling those folks to head back to where the came from. Now, it's reported they are confiscating the supplies. Does anyone stop and wonder that maybe it's not FEMA but possibly other jurisdictions? Does anyone bother to wonder past the opportunity to get angry about any and all reports regardless of their veracity? Nope, it's grab the pitchforks and "rabble rabble!"

Well, they had better be, if they choose to deny people/relatives life-sustaining supplies in order to assert authority re their Government DEI based 'distribution'.
As the supply/demand dysfunction dynamic ramps up due to the massive influx of subsidy-based immigration, so will the inevitable, violent confrontation as formerly secure and relatively affluent citizens are faced with 'Third World' scenarios.
It is so easy to see that our Grid infrastructure is the Achille's heel of our National security. Iranian terrorists/martyrs and CCP operatives have been welcomed and paid well to infiltrate our Nation, and likely begin assessing specific and critical infrastructure targets. If Trump were to survive, take the Oath and begin mass deportation, they will pull the trigger.
And guess what the powerful resource to address the infrastructure calamity will be...try 'Government', via printed money/power. I think that Government is making a point in this Helene scenario: reject 'Government', don't ask for the Government money/resources.
Aside, where the hell is the NC National Guard? Doesn't the Governor have power to direct NG resources (helicopters, food/water supplies, etc.)
You can see this coming like slo-motion video of a trainwreck. "Engineered collapse" ain't just whistling Dixie.

I don't care what "jurisdiction" is doing it, everyone should be pissed. You only seem upset that people are blaming FEMA. Someone is obviously fricking up and people have died.

Yes, but most (maybe all?) NG units aren't comprehensive and if I remember correctly they're mainly combat arms as opposed to large logistics. You can get boots on the ground from them but they're not a smaller version of a military division with all the associated organic units (medical, logistics, etc).

Who cares if they are armed. I would be armed also and I would tell them to frick off.

FEMA needs to be closed and everyone of them fired and arrested for treason.

Off topic but are you suggesting that the some of the Zelensky fan boys on the OT have wised up to the fact they were dupes of a unmitigated propaganda offensive?

I well remember how glad I was to see the NG showing up in our town right after Katrina with water, MREs, and guns, Flats. Things were about to blow if they hadn't, as the massive influx of highly problematic NO evacuees overwhelmed our community. They were getting very desperate.
Though it is only locals that are affected in the mountains, still, the NG could establish landing/distribution zones to fly in basic and temporary life sustaining goods and services. And lift those who choose to leave, out and into temporary 'tent' cities, for the approaching Winter.
I think the 'diploma-mill, DEI hires that run FEMA are ignorant, and don't have a clue. Or worse, are getting orders from the Top to just make a showing, for show/political sake. But teach everybody a lesson that if you reject Government power (think Trump), don't expect Government to help.
I think when the time is right, Trump will show up in that area and point out how much money has been spent on illegals, Ukraine/Israel war leaving our own 'America First' citizens out of the loop. To what ultimate effect, I have no idea, other than what is obviously inevitable.

My interest in the truth is that I live in an area that can get blasted like this every summer. I'd like screw ups and incompetence to be accurately assigned and meaningful reform to happen to those at fault.

Does anyone bother to wonder why we allocate all these resources and power to FEMA when it repeatedly and spectacularly fails in it’s mission? Nope, it’s get on the soapbox and “excuse, mitigate and defend!”
See how that works?
