Watch: Government Nowhere to Be Found in Hurricane Disaster Area, Says Healthcare Security Official
A man who claims to work security detail for a dialysis company said he’s seen no government help anywhere on the ground in Asheville, North Carolina, one of the regions hardest hit by Hurricane Helene.
“I’m currently in Asheville, North Carolina with my company doing disaster security for a dialysis company, and we’re also doing search and rescue for patients to bring them to dialysis so they don’t die,” the man said in a social media post that’s gone viral. “This place is a war zone people, and the military is not here.”
The man explained that when he worked in disaster relief during Hurricane Katrina, the government was extremely quick to respond and provided military assistance. But this time around, there’s no government presence.
“The reason I’m pissed because I was part of the operation during hurricane Katrina. I was stationed in San Diego and within 96 hours we were in Louisiana,” he said. “And these bastards are not sending the military here. There’s so much destruction. There’s no news crews here. That’s why you’re not seeing it. The American people should be angry at what our government is doing to this town. There are people hurting here. There are so many people dying.”
He went on to describe how he’s seen young children wandering around the devastated area looking for their parents — a dire situation that appears ripe for human traffickers to exploit.
