Just remember if you decide not to do it, the people down there probably won't read this thread so they won't hate you for your decision.
I would probably skip out. There are enough people that can fill the role of rebuilding the pipelines from Texas and Alabama. They'd be closer to home. I would expect that right now, going to such a place would just add more people to an area that needs to be evacuated before it's rebuilt. They need to get as many people out as possible....still. Then decide how to start over. It will take a while for floodwaters to back off anyhow.

next time you're in need of help, we'll just say "oh we can't help because the incentives aren''t good enough"
money should not be the reason for not going unless you can honestly say to yourself that by going you will be putting yourself on the streets do to lack of a few weeks pay. No wonder this country is screwed.

i wish i could afford to go down and help out. i was in fl for the 3 that came thru central fl last year and all the people who came to help were amazing and totally appreciated.
if i could afford that time off work, i would be there!
on the same note, my bro-in-law just went down there w/ the power company, they left sun nite and are now just north of gulfport. he's gonna make a ton during the time...gets paid 30+/hr driving there and 40+/hr while working w/ the 30+ paid while sleeping too!

this may be callous and not like me...
As much looting, shooting, sniping, rioting, etc that is going on there, I would say the many ruin it for the few. If they can care that little about their city, why should you. Not to mention all the disease and what not that is going to be rampant.
Now on the flip side...
There are many people deserving of your helping hand and expertise.
I DEFINITELY wouldn't do it without more pay. It's too dangerous.... Good luck with your decision. My vote has been cast.

go only if you get to do work that is a level above what you normally do, that will help you greatly. Why would you travel so far away to do the same stuff you do now? and don't worry about the work that needs to be done, you are NOT the only person in the US qualified to do the work that needs to be done there.
also if you go it signals to the higher ups that they can send you anywhere and you're not going to say dick.
