Would you accept aid

[Scythe13]

I like to think I would only take what I needed.

If we needed fuel, I'd say yes to fuel. If we needed food or water, we'd say yes to that.

If the event was over, and normal life would be returned, like the NY situation. I'd say....come back at the end of your day and if you have loads left, I'll have half a food parcel (to start stocking up again), but to be fair, I really don't think I'd even say that. Just thank them for their assistance, then say something like "I'm on a specialist diet and I need to keep that stocked up, so we're okay thanks." If the amount of stuff used was minimal, and food was above 50% of pre-event stocks, then I'd definitely say no.

I have no need for it, and although as a tax payer, I 'deserve' it. I believe that there would be people whom actually needed the supplies. A food parcel for me, might mean a few kids starving, missing medication, or something like that.

Would just make an excuse "We were on holiday, and the event didn't effect us. Thanks for the offer though." Or something like that.
