Do not self-deploy to a disaster area - it helps no one if you also need to be rescued. If you volunteer to help someone else, you can't do it on your own term

Do not self-deploy to a disaster area - it helps no one if you also need to be rescued. If you volunteer to help someone else, you can't do it on your own terms alone, you have to be aware and willing to work with what other people need. This might sound obvious, and the people who really need to hear this may not accept it.
