I guess you are right, Qrow would've tried to find someone. And I honestly don't know who I missed that part with Qrow saying they're all dead.

If anything then, the only thing I think of is either Blake was bluffing, like you said, there were survivors, meaning Qrow lied or made an assumption, Haven Academy students, as they can't be legally dispatched, inactive/unemployed Huntsmen, or retired Huntsmen.
