“Western North Carolina is destroyed. Hell on earth. I spent last night chainsawing fallen logs on a mountain so people could get in. Before that we were hunting for survivors in (town) and delivering water to the fire department. Got a family out today…”

—reports from a volunteer I know
Can you tell us NC people what org your friend is working with? I want to steer donations to effective groups, NOT red cross.
I’ve seen many local churches are getting donations together and taking it themselves. I’m in Eastern NC. I’ve also seen posts from officials in the disaster area saying don’t bring anything until they say it’s ok. I think it’s because they can’t let people into an unsafe area and possibly don’t have the people to handle donations. I can’t get a clear explanation on this.
This parish is what the volunteer who wrote this post is working with. They are connected to responders and have the necessary connections and manpower to make things happen and get funds to others who can. https://bit.ly/2024-flood-relief
