Sorry about your home. We used to live in Key Largo and Miami, and watched Irma closely.
Suggestions
1. Rice cooker. Use for rice, lentils, etc.
2. Blender (some hotel kitchens may have) Use for salsas, blended soups, etc.
3. Pressure cooker (doubles as big pot) Use to steam potatoes, boil beans, simmer curries, etc.
4. Small Bag for common kitchen utensils. knives, cutting board, measuring cups, measuring spoons, peeler, strainer, etc. Can also contain teas and dry spices.
5. Small cooler filled with microwave-freezer containers. Can be used to bring home frozen groceries, wash dishes and pack picnics.
Most everything will probably be available local and fresh. Fresh herbs ((garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili, limes, etc.) should be readily available. Some sea salt is good if you use it.
We've been traveling about US and Mexico, staying in various hotels, B&Bs, etc., with some small kitchen gear packed in the car trunk. This is what has worked pretty well for us.
