Most important is to NOT go anywhere in a disaster zone without a reason to go. That means you need to have a specific place you know you are wanted and someone at that destination expecting you. You should associate yourself with some relief service before you go and know that you have the skills and time to do the job that's needed. We went to Katrina in 2005 but we were helping folks in that area re-establish communications selling and installing satellite internet systems throughout the area. There were NO CAMPGROUNDS available in most places so you may need to be fully contained with the ability to run your generator 24/7 to stay cool. The campgrounds fill up quickly with those who have lost their homes but own an RV as well as the true first responders and insurance agents who do this for a living.
I don't want to discourage you from any attempt to volunteer your services as that's a great thought and something I hop you are able to do. Just please don't go in blindly and get in the way.
