If there were enough people assisting in the evacuation/aide of those in trouble, then I agree. In this case, resources weren't allocated efficiently. They have/had plenty of money, but not enough manpower. If Penn couldn't find anyone in need of assistance, then he obviously could be more efficient doing something else. If he's actually helping people that would not have been helped but for him (and not hindering any of the attempted aide by other volunteers), then his actions aren't inefficient.
Is he an attention whore? Absolutely. Do you think the people he has helped care?
