You can’t just allow any ol’ person to cook a meal and drop it off. What the hell is that? If they want to help let them donate money or food-read-to-eat.
Really? Is that like not letting children to open lemonade stands on the sidewalk because of FDA tyranny? Please, some burgers, hotdogs, corn, and buns on an open grill "can't be allowed"? This is where you control freaks types stop so many good local people from helping the relief effort. Legal liability will be your "Instant Karma" someday.
If I got burnt out of my home here in the California fires, I would praise anyone who set up a grill to feed us, rather than wait for FEMA approved MRE's. Sheesh, just look to see if your burger is well cooked. I so admire the locals wanting to help. You're on the wrong side.
dear scythe,
re:

What about your neighbors, when they barbeque? Or the neighbors bringing cakes and pies to a gathering? What about those potluck meals at your church gatherings?
If you could not cook a meal, for some blamed reason, and somebody you knew offered to do it, would you be the idiot and refuse???
Sounds like you trust only the government. This is probably the wrong site for you.

The Red Cross is more of a long term provider than an emergency provider immediately
after the disaster. Once they get set up with their facilities, etc they can prepare
meals but it takes them a few days to get people in, set up and rolling. Short term is much
more with the locals who have some type means to provide. Just my experience from
being involved with serveral hurricanes.
