Hey I was wondering if based on the stupid amount of gear we have and the type of vehicles are we going to do some kind of good for those people? I'll probably deploy with team Rubicon but it'll be nice to organize something
Any gatherings related to aid hurricane Ian victims?

If it's anything like hurricane sandy, they won't let you within miles of the devastation. In NJ, we had Louisiana and Michigan state police blocking off roads all over. On top of that, I'd be weary of driving my truck through that. A lot of it is brackish and salt water. Don't take that as I don't care. I was a volunteer firefighter and EMT for years. I'd just let the government do their jobs.

As previously mentioned, let the pros deal with the immediate work. The best thing would be to coordinate with relief orgs like Cajun Navy or Samaritan's Purse. Usually, they come in after the dust has settled a bit. There will be plenty of work to do and overlanding rigs can still be utilized. The biggest needs will be supplies and labor for demo-ing, mold-remediation, and cleaning up.
Years ago, I was part of a team from my church that went to Houston for hurricane Harvey relief, and this was a few weeks after the fact, but plenty of work to do. I remember neighborhoods with mountains of debris from water damage mitigation. Cajun Navy was there as were several other relief orgs. Neighborhood streets were crowded with vehicles on both sides with piles of debris.
Actually, Cajun Navy may have been there before the water receded, but there's plenty of need and work to be done well after the water recedes.

we were in the direct path of Ida last year and we were out of power for a month. it was a shit show and most locals, in a time like this, will gladly trade food and fuel for alcohol.
what people really want in a time like that is an escape from their current reality

Interesting. During Sandy we were mostly concerned with fuel and food.
