>WARNING: At this time we have to warn people against coming to Rachel for the botched Storm Rachel event next weekend. The organizers are suing each other and in the meantime nothing is being done to prepare for the event. We expect riots when those visitors that may show up and paid good money find out that the reality looks nothing like what they were promised. People will get hurt. STAY AWAY FROM RACHEL NEXT WEEKEND! From http://www.rachel-nevada.com/ http://www.rachel-nevada.com/

Such type of warnings and claiming that people should not leave their home would just increase commitment to «Area 51» conspiracy theory. This is some sort of recursion.

Or maybe the current message is - bring food, water, and fuel?

  And portable incineration toilets?

    Wow, I didn't know these existed. That is pretty neat.

    there will be feces everywhere if more than a few hundred show up. there are only a few toilets in the area and they will be overloaded immediately.

So .. Fyre Festival? At least in this situation, they should be able to turn around and drive home. That is, if the last gas stations to that location don't run out. FEMA should already have tankers ready to head out there. More than food; having fuel to make it back to populated areas is probably more important.

  If I were FEMA I'd have fuel and water trucks lined up. Moreover, I'd keep that fact quiet so as not to encourage anyone.

    Why is it FEMA's responsibility to help idiots who are doing things they've been warned not to do that'll probably kill them?

      Probably because the government thinks you don't deserve to die even if you're stupid. Just like people who get helped even though they stay in the path of hurricanes despite evac orders

        Very noble view of the government .. another view is, the government wants order, and desperate people tend to do drastic things, which disturbs order. And with evac orders ... there is also the assumption that not everybody got the order clearly (or understood it) and you would have upset citiciens who complain the government let elder people die ..
