My wife and I are moving back to Houston on the 11th from Northern VA. We're extremely fortunate that our new house in Oak Forests survived the flood, and we want to help out with cleanup any way we can. Since we will have a moving truck, this may be a good opportunity to bring in some needed supplies.

I have been thinking of buying a generator and beefing up my power tool collection, which is fairly limited at the moment. Any suggestions on what we should bring down? What is running low at the moment? Any other supplies that would be useful?

I would also be happy to buy generators/tools and sell them at cost to anyone who wants/needs them. We have already donated some to the relief efforts but are somewhat low on cash given the recent house purchase.

EDIT: I realize this post may be a bit early. I'm sure it's hard to say at this point what will still be needed a week and a half from now, but I wanted to start planning now if possible. I wish I could get down there sooner to help.
