True but this is besides the original post.... Let's get back to chain of command and incident organization. Say we have 25 people in an area where we have 5 boats operating... Do we want all five boats going to house to house or duplicating efforts or do we want resources properly allocated and moving through victims in the most efficient manner???

You are right in what you are saying but I think this was a chaos type of situation and there was no real way to control it. People were literally drowning in the streets, in that situation it's all hands on deck and you get as many hands out there as you possibly can. I'd prefer someone coming in to not spend the 15 minutes checking with "the boss" and just come get me before I run out of air.
