Generally in humanitarian disasters the local authorities are screaming out for helicopters, and I imagine the assumption is that anything that is sent is of use, particularly heavy lift helicopters. I don't think anyone expected the Nepalese to turn down the help, given the state things are in out there. I do think that worrying about roofs being blown off is like being concerned that you've just spilt a pint of milk when the house is already flooded.
