You don't bring the victims to relief. You bring relief to the victims.
This ain't rocket science, folks.
When people are stranded, you helicopter/air drop relief TO them.

On rooftops, on interstates, in unflooded places.
You BRING:
1. Water
2. Food, MREs or just BREAD, ENERGY BARS, WHATEVER.
3. Tarps. Some way to construct a shelter from the elements.

AFTER you do that, you sort out how to get them AWAY from the area.

How smart do you have to be to know this?

3. Recommended
This is so simple. Air drop water, food, baby formula, something to provide shade.

For God and Goddess sake what is WRONG with people?!?!
