The Lesson Of Lahaina, Hawaii and Hurricane HeleneThe lesson is simple and the same for both crises: no one is coming to save you; it is up to us—We the People.

Darin Gaub

The crucial lesson we must all take from the experiences of Lahaina and Hurricane Helene is the power of community action. We cannot simply TRUST the plans of FEMA or other federal agencies; we must BE the plan. We have the power to reject the petty dictates of those who obstruct. When local, state, and federal agencies are making a positive impact, we stand with them. When they hinder us, we work around them.
The Secretary of Transportation says you can’t fly drones? Fly them anyway. (As a helicopter pilot, I would fly in this scenario and not worry about drones.)
Have you been told you can’t fly your private helicopter? Do it regardless.
Are “agents” threatening the confiscation of weapons? Don’t give in; Hurricane Katrina taught us that.
