Tornado in New Orleans East yesterday

Yesterday I was in New Orleans East when the Tornado hit that area. Luckily, our house is fine. Some of our neighbors didn't have good luck like us. As a real estate investor, how can we help them and get some profit by our work? I want to do win-win deals with  fix and flip. Is there any chance here?

@Mike Reynolds Thank you for the comments. What is blue tarp?

FEMA will have contractors come in and lay tarp on the roofs of the houses not damaged as much so they won't get worse. My company did some back during Katrina and Wilma in Florida. I guess they still do it these days. The FEMA payment info I got from hurricane Ike. I know lots of folks down that way and that's what they got. Lots of house down there at that time insurance would not cover them.
