Jonathan Howard：在佛罗里达州的飓风灾后救援中，各部门合作良好，信息和资源共享，应急响应迅速有效，州政府给予了充分的自主权，没有官僚主义的阻碍。救援工作高效有序，各部门职责明确，没有权力争夺，合作顺利。 与之形成鲜明对比的是，在北卡罗来纳州，飓风灾后救援工作效率低下，政府部门互相推诿责任，缺乏协调，导致许多受困民众得不到及时救援。政府部门试图将救援行动的功劳据为己有，掩盖了灾情的严重性，甚至阻碍了民间救援力量的进入。媒体报道存在矛盾和失实之处，加剧了信息混乱。军事资源未能得到有效利用，反而被用于非救援任务，例如为政要进行拍照留念。总统的视察并未带来实质性的帮助，反而影响了救援工作。地方执法部门设置路障，阻碍了救援人员进入灾区，部分原因是由于与当地其他营利性救援团队之间的利益冲突。 Charlie Kebaugh：在北卡罗来纳州的救援行动中，受灾民众主要依靠非官方渠道寻求帮助，信息传递主要依靠口口相传和有限的手机信号。救援人员通过空中搜寻的方式发现受困民众，面临着复杂的地形和危险的环境。灾后，社区内部开始出现信任危机和资源争夺。政府部门对直升机资源的分配不合理，导致救援工作受阻。发布视频后，救援工作得到了更多支持，但政府部门仍然存在形式主义和效率低下的问题。
