In a Disaster Response/immediate Recovery situation, the time between the allowed gouging and sending of additional supply is where catastrophic human suffering occurs. As a governmental entity or a human being in this society that gap is not acceptable IMO
Making gouging illegal won't change the time it takes for supply to come in to help your cause. It will only make it take longer, if suppliers have nothing to gain

Gouging will absolutely limit local access in the immediate short term. Criminalizing gouging prevents that limitation in the immediate short term, which is when access is the most critical to prevent human suffering and potential loss-of-life.
