Access control is a really big deal. Looters and swindlers get into those areas and take advantage of people.
Lawyers make it where they have to be very cautious of what they take. I know it's stupid and frustrating.
I don't think people understand how much of their donate relief and aid materials end up in dumpsters because of the litigation risk.
Best thing to do is find an authorized relief organization like the Red Cross, Baptist Men's or Team Rubicon and work through them. I know people want to help...We just have a lot of real scumbags out there that make it difficult for everyone else.
