Get a couple of carpet fans and bring those down with you, these will aid immensely in getting the place dried out. I'm sure they're hard to find in the Harvey-hit areas right now. Check local Craigslist, also rental places will often sell their old ones for $100 or so. One carpet fan can do the work of 20 regular house fans.
As you probably already know, carpet, wiring, drywall, insulation, cabinetry, baseboards that got wet, these gotta go. Studs and other framing members will generally be fine once they dry out, but you have to make sure they're good and dry. You can get a pretty cheap moisture meter on Amazon to help determine when the wood is dry.
If they were freshly slabbed and not kiln dried they would need a year or two of air drying. You can ask the seller, or just get a moisture meter for like $15.
