Between FEMA situation and that order on Private Drone Operations,
Buttigieg’s order grounding private drone flights in Hurricane Helene flood rescue zones crashes and burns: ‘You’re hiding something’ (msn.com)
It really does look like the government is trying to hide the actual death numbers and try to come out looking like the heroes by blocking any assistance by private entities from helping out.
This is strait out of CCP playbooks; Hide the real damage and deaths, prevent others from helping and rescuing, force the media to report how great the governments response was.

Quote:Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg ordered private drone flights suspended in North Carolina’s Hurricane Helene flood zone, sparking fierce outcry from those frustrated by the government’s lackluster response to the deadly crisis.
“Drone pilots: Do not fly your drone near or around rescue and recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene,” the official DOT X account wrote Tuesday afternoon, nearly a week after the storm brought near-unprecedented flooding to the mountainous region.
Considering the maddeningly slow pace of the rescue effort, Buttigieg effectively ordered residents not to fend for themselves and instead put their trust in an agency many believe have already dropped the ball was adding insult to injury.
“You would think more eyes in the sky would be a good thing when there are people that need to be rescued but what do i know,” one X user replied.
“Your ‘help’ is worse than doing nothing,” seethed another.
Others pointed out how private drones have been used to deliver items like insulin and baby formula to those in need, particularly those living in more remote terrain who have been largely cut off from the rest of the world since the storm.
“Private citizen drones and helicopters have been saving lives for days, and still are. You should be ashamed,” said another user.
Some users felt the order was an effort to prevent citizen journalists from capturing the true extent of the damage on film.
“You’re hiding something,” a poster said accusingly.
