I think that a better question here is what to do IF you get ask to help.
You need to be thinking about yourself in that situation, and not in a training situation where the coffee pot is across the room and is always full.
You are going to be going into a full grid down situation where there is no power, and even basic shelter may not be readily available.
If you are passing traffic, you may be the only one doing it for hours and hours at a time.
SO before you roll out, you need to think about being prepared for the situation.
Take water, a gallon for every day you will be there, and don't get it in your head if things get bad, you can just come home.
Take basic food, Ramen soup, canned soups and foods, Stuff that has a shelf life and doesn't require cooling. Ice and refigeration is not gonna happen.
You will need to take a bed roll and a sleeping bag. I would advise a test as well. Chances are good that they would provide a secure location for you, but that still may be in some court yard with armed guards for your protection, you have no idea if you will be in a building, or if there are many buildings to be in that are safe to inhabit. They just got slammed by a major hurricane, things will not be real good there.
IF you are in any way medication dependant, old, or out of shape, let someone else do this and stay home. Living in the aftermath of a situation like this can be harder to survive than the hurricane it self.
Getting a ride out may not be real easy, and you are
providing the only means of communication, so they may not let you leave.
If you aren't up to it, don't try.
If you are working the situation from here, state side. Get out and get supplies, have food and water to hunker down and work. Get word out to your ham buddies or group and work in shifts. The best way to handle health and welfare traffic in this day and age is email. Get the folks that are working the situation in the effected area to get email addresses if possible for those that they are trying to pass traffic to. Traffic nets are great, but if you can receive a message and an email address to send it to you can pass a ton of traffic very quickly if you are copying and handing off to someone that is doing the sending of the traffic.
