I didn't see anything in any of the reports or letters that indicated "frantic" attempts to help. It looked like he simply started helping where he saw need. The mayor's office letter pretty much spelled out a rigid approach that would guarantee to frustrate skilled volunteers. These kinds of problems came up following the Joplin mega-tornado, officials at the scene had to lighten up on their protocols and adjust on the fly when it became clear their by-the book procedures were slowing things way down and were causing more trouble than they were helping.
These extreme situations require creative problem solving, rules and regs do not provide the best answers.
