    i keep seeing messages for individuals with supplies to stay away because they are disrupting the large scale efforts. so not sure what to believe.

    i know firsthand that there are FEMA staging areas and such in the Piedmont.

      AFAIK, most of the community dropoffs are now coordinated with state and local relief. and yes - stay out of the areas, its a mess and coordination over the next few days rather than ad hoc scramble is what will save the most lives.

      I have persoanlly heard a steady stream of millitary large transport helicopters over my area, so I know materials and personnel may be getting through.
