A volunteer group with boats is going to Texas to help with rescue. From USA Today:

Of course there's some government type that wanted to get involved. From the article: "In spite of a state lawmaker's effort last year to require training and permit fees, no one has taken an actual census of the group. Hains on Sunday estimated that there are hundreds of members, most from southern Louisiana ? thus the ?Cajun? appellation."
Ah-ha! There it is. "fees".
Thank you, govt agency, which would blatantly make a profit from ppl's suffering and charge other volunteers to help.

There are groups going from all over, even up here. Same with every disaster. The only ones complaining are the ones that think the govt can fi x all their problems. I feel for the people affected. Everyone has a plan until the first shot is fired and then it all goes to hell.
