39. Dude, there are no roads for trucks to use.
They will have to bring in D6's, excavators and cranes to clear roads. You cant drive a 10ton truck through a road covered in collapsed structure.

you cant throw water out of helicopters and not expect to create riots or problems. This is not an alien landing, this is an event that has happened before and that has a playbook. Those books are written in blood. The lessons in them are learned when people are dying. This is not the time to get all jackson pollack with it and just start an improv.

The goal is to get life sustaining care to people who need it in a way that does not create a greater problem. Everyone is working towards this goal.

Again donate cash and chill.
