If you're interested in helping people, join your local fire dept as a volunteer.
Just driving around trying to help people, you won't accomplish much. Even if you did find someone to help, without any training, you can't do much. To be honest, even an EMT by himself can't really do that much. The skills an EMT has aren't that useful without having an ambulance, with equipment, and a way to transport an injured person.
I've been a paramedic for 13 years now, and even if I was driving around after a bad storm trying to help, I wouldn't be much use. I was in New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina, and even with an ambulance full of equipment, and 2 full crews of people (2 EMTs 2 paramedics), I felt I wasn't much help half the time.
If you join your local fire dept, or ambulance, you can actually help people day to day, and not just after a disaster. They can provide training to show you what to do in an emergency. You cant really just expect to help people 2-3 times a year after a storm, you need practice, training, and honing your skills.
Also fyi, it's not a CPR licence, it's a certification. EMTs and paramedics have certifications as well, it's technically not a license, although for an EMT or paramedic the term license and certification means nearly the same thing.
Good luck though sc/out/, sounds like you could do some pretty cool things in the near future.
