Hotel staff and locals in New Orleans for instance worked for free at hotels to have a place to live and eat after hurricane Katrina. These were Marriott hotels. I was there. That's what happened. They accommodated these folks to have them help get the hotel back in working order so emergency services personnel had a place to stay while enforcing laws and providing help. Practically, all the hotels were looted for their linen, towels, bath and cleaning supplies, etc. It was a mess. I'm sure eventually, everybody received a paycheck too when things got back to normal. But, they let the hotel staff's entire family live there as long as the staff member helped until things calmed down.
