I understand the damage. You should be self reliant until help arrives.
I might be taking it wrong, but you sound angry and ungrateful. Government is inefficient, you should have already known that.
I am angry but don’t need to be grateful to no government. I took care of my family, neighbors and my two businesses by myself.
While we’re at it, you and everyone else should take note: When they say that you should be self reliant until help arrives - usually for three days, the government suggests - that’s BS. You need to be self-sufficient (have enough food, water, fuel and shelter) for AT LEAST THREE WEEKS after a major disaster as the one we just had. That was my experience.
