I'm looking to assist with humanitarian relief in PR. Any units currently or going to PR to assist with Hurricane Maria relief efforts?

There's some unit info in the following article --- https://www.stripes.com/news/pentagon-deploys-army-general-and-more-troops-to-lead-hurricane-response-on-puerto-rico-1.489835

I would think most, if not all, units that will be tasked for PR operations are one of the following:
1. have already been notified and are preparing for transit
2. are in transit to PR
3. are already in PR

Of course, there's potential for further units to be tasked to continue to provide relief. Furthermore, I would think that most units would be National Guard.

Basically, if you're not part of one of the units in the above 3 criteria, you won't be going, at least not soon.

Pentagon deploys Army general and more troops to lead hurricane response on Puerto Rico

The Pentagon is shifting its response to Hurricane Maria-ravaged Puerto Rico to a land-based operation as it clears airfields and adds communications capabilities, allowing it to flow more troops onto the ailing U.S. island, defense officials said Wednesday.

FEMA was looking for people and paying them for disaster team relief and clean up at one time, I know a guy who was trying to get registered, not sure if he went.
