They went in and assisted the National Guard there for three days, and had to come home to attend to our own issues here in Florida.
There have been air drops, Georgia's governor spoke with the President, Harris met with the task force and FEMA to determine needs and implement procedures for the coming days and weeks.
Yes, these disaster areas need (and received and are still receiving) National Guard assistance from adjacent states. But this is the peak hurricane season and there are more hurricanes expected. The National Guard will be needed, rested, refreshed, and ready to move to other locations as well as the season continues.
In addition, Biden has authorized and ordered the DoD to send another 1000 soldiers to assist with food, water, and other commodities needed in the hardest-hit areas. The first few days had to be rescue - they had to get the survivors out. That was the #1 priority and anything else would've been in the way of those rescues.
Instead of reading the media, try checking with the actual White House press releases. They're giving daily accounting of everything they're doing, with names, numbers, totals, locations.

I said something political and it was removed.
FEMA is still in rescue mode. Right now. This minute. The damage is so extensive that it isn't a quick fix in any shape or form and can't be a quick fix if all the kings horses and all the kings men show up.
That said. I see all kinds of earth movers moving dirt and gangs of people helping with their own hands to search, move dirt and repair. People from the "private sector".
It isn't enough, and we are depleting the monies in FEMA and other governmental rescue organizations.
I will say that I can see clearly what AMERICA needs right now.
We should all find and support VALID rescue attempts with money since many of us Villagers are older and unable to physically help.
Every little bit helps.
Glittering generalities doesn't get the job done.
