James Woods Turns Personal Twitter Account into Search and Rescue Tool
He’s well known for his acting and for his straight-shooting approach on Twitter. He routinely bashes leftists and is quick to serve up an “INSTABLOCK” to obnoxious trolls.
But there is more to actor James Woods than his quick wit and willingness to publicly go against Hollywood in support of President Donald Trump.
In the midst of the evacuations and Camp Fire in California, loved ones have gone missing and Woods has opted to use his Twitter account to help aid in search and rescue efforts for them.
The pinned tweet on his account informs the public how to “coordinate finding each other” using the social media platform. The method involves using “two dedicated hashtags.”
For twelve hours we have been using two dedicated hashtags (#CampFireJamesWoods, #SoCalFiresJamesWoods) so people can coordinate finding each other on my @Twitter feed. Just tweet info on missing persons using a hashtag by geography or search for those missing the same way.

When tweeting info on missing loved ones, please give name, address (or just town), special needs or conditions, and YOUR contact info (phone number or @Twitter handle) with either hashtag (see below👇)Thank you. https://t.co/7NZUP3ih1M

KPIX reported that it isn’t just pleas for help flooding his account. Those who find their loved ones are also sharing the news and their thanks.
#Missing: Karen Olson. The last communication on FB was that she was waiting for a ride. No one has heard from her since. Any leads or help are appreciated. Contact @erinnjhale #CampFireJamesWoods https://t.co/l8EPXiCAHC

An animal lover, Woods has also been thinking of the critters affected by the evacuations and fire. He’s shared tips for pet owners and those who have horses.
Animals like #cats and #dogs often hide in fires. If there is the remotest possibility that you may have to evacuate in the future, locate and secure your #pets now. Make sure you have food, water, and a cage, if possible. Shelters prefer them. #SoCalFiresJamesWoods

In the desperate circumstance where your horses must be freed in the fires (NEVER leave them penned up), spray paint your phone number on the horse. Crude but effective. #SoCalFiresJamesWoods

Even leftists, who might be targets otherwise, can get a helping hand from Woods. Actress Alyssa Milano, who is very politically active for leftist causes, put out a plea for help with her five horses. Woods shared it and defended why she should be helped.
She needs help with five horses. It was previously reported that her horses had been evacuated, but she says that did not happen. Please contact her at @Alyssa_Milano to get her location or use my hashtag #SoCalFiresJamesWoods This is a serious request. https://t.co/R7krd0Wfbg

Because her animals are in danger and she needs help. @Alyssa_Milano #SoCalFiresJamesWoods https://t.co/GFc66PGSal

Of course, there were others who got on Wood’s bad side in relation to the efforts to help, too. His handy, dandy, infamous “INSTABLOCK” got pulled out and put to good use.
Oh, and we (followers and responders) have all been working for fourteen hours while you are in your basement sniping. We couldn’t care less about “credit.” We just want to disseminate life-saving information. #INSTABLOCK https://t.co/IMh04YhG95

The kindness, generosity and class Woods has shown is a lesson all can learn from. The country could use more of this.
