Drone Assistance For Crews
Просмотров 2302 месяца назад
Drones have played an important role in helping us survey damage quickly and know what lies ahead for our crews. Drones can turn an hour (or hour"s") of hiking into an assessment that takes just a few minutes, especially in rugged terrain. These are a few shots from around Northern Caldwell County where done work is pivotal right now.

    Helene was not a hurricane once it left FL but just a giant rainmaker which added to the ran already received in NC. They keep saying hurricane Helene hit NC which isn't true.

    I'm only a couple minutes into this video, and having a panic attack. I feel so horrible for WNC residents. Please, anyone who can donate to help them, find a trusted source and donate. Even $5 means something, if you can't do anymore. Imagine ten thousand people donating $5. Just be sure your money is going to help and not pad pockets. I love visiting NC, and my heart is broken this horrible event has happened to them.

      Do u know Abba said the weapons they have we will use for firewood. So not to cut any trees. I have asked for these men and women to get pay and for tiny homes to be sent to those that aren't able yet to get back inside there homes. I spoke with Public about you small business getting money refunded for your helping US. Also your business and homes daily living so damaged how we can set up temporary service for you. To get daily living ASAP. No one but Illinois FTC USPS called to get mail fraud report. The AWOL Abba gave that. Book I believe Glory is speaking about You Guys Right now!?????!!!!!!.
