Federal emergency MANAGMENT agency.....
FEMA doesn't just grab random people off the street to assist in disasters.

Sure, people can just up and go help somewhere on their own, but they will have far little effect. It's better to actually have some training and be a part of a group that's recognized for helping in certain situations. Otherwise, you'll most likely be denied entry. Random people people trying to help in disasters when they don't know what they're doing quite often make the situation worse and increase the number of people requiring rescue (to include themselves)
