Hey Yall, I plan to pack up my truck and tools and head for the gulf coast sometime in the next few weeks. I plan to spend two to three weeks there helping out as a carpenter.
looking for any links to any volunteer orgs. that are online and co-ordinating construction workers.
I figure the first wave will be the rescue, relocation and power restoration effort, and then after that’s done there will be a big need for construction folks.
thanks for any leads

I'm not sure there's going to be any building going on real soon. They're pumping out the water for the next several weeks, and cleaning up. Maybe check with the Habitat folks in the area.
There is lots and lots of places where they aint pumping out water.Where the job is replacing roofs and windows.But even in those places it is still tarping, chainsaw and the like work.
see my last post, I replied to wrong message.
