You take the organized efforts of the LEO's and government and let them do exactly what was described where you go street to street, etc.. and that force builds up over time. The first responders which in this case was the Cajun navy, they run around in chaos mode doing the best that they can knowing that the organized effort is going to check street by street, door to door. In order to organize with civilians you would have to be able to communicate. Cell phones didn't work, civilians generally do not have police radios or even marine radios on most boats. You never know where the flood is going to be so you can't at least in the early stages setup a check point for helpers at every possible boat launch or access point. The government was not ready to lead or guide anyway, it happened to quickly. I don't blame them and I haven't heard anyone else blame LEO's either. People just got to work. No permit required.
