A couple of hams are going to be a lot more help there than a couple
of dozen Bubbas in bass boats.

How is that? A lot of folks have been thankful for "Bubbas" in bass
boats".
Historically in floods, shallow draft boats can save a ton of folks from
rooftops, trees, and attics.

Emphasis on Bubbas, not bass boats.

In emergency situations there is almost as much difficulty managing
willing but untrained or ill equipped volunteers as there is managing
the crisis in the first place.

IMO, that's a load of condescending horse****. Oddly enough, the authorities
were asking for just such action from "Bubba's in bass boats" ... their
regard is obviously higher than yours, but still probably not as high as the
rescued, who could care less as long as they are.
