We were trying to help a small community of people without food, water or electricity and had little contact with rescuers to receive supplies. They were very upset, but we were told by police that they couldn’t let anyone in and didn’t seem to have a good reason behind it. We had cases of water, MREs, dog food and basic sanitary items – we just wanted to bring people supplies. It was impossible for me just to sit in my house while people are in need.
