Sometimes the most basic and non-computerized method is best. Especially in weather emergencies.

But what a combination! Mules for transportation and Starlink for communication!

Until some bureaucrat shows up and threatens them with arrest - which strangely is happening around there.

Thousands of people have died, and officials expect the death toll to climb.

I hope that is a misstatement.

Private individuals stepping in with mules to get critical supplies in - good on them.

Where are the government helicopters?

Mom! Mules to the rescue!

My Ithaca approves - but probably wouldn't be much help in a crisis as he's a lazy, spoiled brat! ;)

Don’t worry. The helicopters and equipment is being “staged” by FEMA. They are working out deployment plans at a Starbucks in Chapel Hill. (I am not joking)

The Army has a lot of rough-terrain vehicles, and engineering/road-clearing equipment, if only they were made available.

Gotta love pack mules and horses: they can go where wheels and tracks dare not venture, and their fuel is a lot cheaper. In some environments, it’s free.

Mules are amazing. They are half Horse (female), and half Burro (male). I knew a rancher in Utah that had one.

What is even funnier is they are might be delivering to place that have no electricity.

Here’s the question: where are the National Guard helicopters for North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia that should be doing a lot of this work? 🤔
