The salary is usually so good that a LOT of people buy a house or flat, which they rent out during their project time, and pay off the mortgage with their salary. You don't spend a lot of money in a disaster area, and the tents and latrines are provided... AND, you ALWAYS these days have internet access via mobile phone. Q is cut off for 12 days now, since he'll be evaluating conditions in the worst hit areas, but he HAS been promised that as soon as he sets up his base in the area he will have internet access. Communications are necessary. That's where YOU might come in.
