FEMA Deploys Electric Chainsaws
According to recent reports, FEMA has sent electric chainsaws to areas in North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene, specifically to communities without power. This effort is part of the agency's disaster relief response.

Key Points:

The electric chainsaws were delivered via U.S. Army Chinook helicopter to areas like Little Switzerland, North Carolina.
This has been the only government assistance received by these communities, with no generators or other essential equipment provided.
Critics have questioned the practicality of sending electric chainsaws to areas without power, as they require extension cords or generators to function.
Some have joked that someone at FEMA likely has a connection to a supplier, leading to the 3X retail price of the chainsaws.
Local and regional groups, including veterans, have banded together to provide relief efforts, using their own equipment and resources to distribute donations and supplies to affected areas.
Challenges and Limitations:

The electric chainsaws are only useful if communities have access to power or generators to recharge the batteries.
Without a reliable power source, the chainsaws become ineffective for cutting and clearing debris.
The lack of generators and other essential equipment has led to frustration among affected communities, who feel that FEMA's response has been inadequate.
Conclusion:

FEMA's decision to send electric chainsaws to areas without power has raised questions about the agency's disaster relief strategy. While the intention may have been to provide a useful tool, the limitations of these chainsaws without a power source have been highlighted. Local efforts and community-based initiatives have stepped in to fill the gaps, demonstrating the importance of grassroots support in disaster response.

I wonder how many trees could have been trimmed up or cut down prior to this.

Wonder if those electric chainsaw's came with a diesel generator?
