Thanks guys. I ordered a UM 84
This is a product for subcompacts that's actually built as a holster:

I think you'll like it. Hope we didn't confuse you about the flap. You'll figure out how to open it -- it's really not hard. As RX-79G said, it can be done in one smooth motion.
I know the OP has made his decision, but I keep finding interesting stuff:

They make these custom for your model gun in a choice of colors. A pull tab opens the zipper flap exposing the gun. Pretty cool.

You might also look at a Sneaky Pete holster that is VERY low profile. I have a very secure cheapo nylon thumb break shoulder holster that would be handy in conditions where chest waders might be needed.

Maybe cut two slots in that, install a Glock sport/combat holster inside but firmly attached to your own gunbelt. Or your favorite kydex holster.
The bag is nothing but concealment and protection, the OWB holster does the real work.
What to wear during disaster clean up is really moot. The looters wait until dark, when most have quit for the day, ie the 14 to 16 hours they have been putting into it.
At which point they sleep, usually not on site if the damage is extensive.
During the day when cleaning up most neighbors are in it together and there is very little hostility or boundary enforcement. Politeness is dominant and helping each other the #1 rule.
As for wear during clean up it's going to be an issue of finding your guns - at all. And that is only if you placed them in a secure location. The worst case scenario would be emerging from your bathtub to find literally nothing left standing around you, and you'd have to wonder why the tub was.
That's from the perspective of an EF5 - at 250 mph it usually leaves nothing unless it's solid cast concrete or underground. Nothing. Smaller tornadoes do less but even a direct hit by an EF1 will demolish a house and scour the pad it was sitting on. The contents will be tossed up to a mile away.
Fire or flood? Depends. The basement safe room you might have prepared will now be particularly useless. Storing firearms there might result in them getting trapped underground and with a fire crew pouring hundreds of gallons an hour on the flames it becomes the same issue.
Those are worst case, best case is you simply put on some heavy work clothes and some nail resistant boots to go out to help your neighbors. For the most part the climate will be the bigger enemy - most storms come in the summer when it's high humidity and temperatures. I'd be more concerned about water - a hydration pack would be my first line choice of gear.
If I thought I needed a gun to lug around it would go in a pocket on that. As I would likely have some kind of demolition tool or implement in hand it would then go to being the first line of defense.
Looters in tornadoes, earthquakes, etc are rarely running around in gangs. If that is the discussion then we just stepped up to Katrina level social disturbance discussion and we aren't talking neighborhood clean up any more.
Considering the number of LEO's, National Guard, firemen, etc working a disaster the majority of the public is busy hauling stuff to the curb. If you need security to do that then I guess you should schedule shifts with a long arm - if one can be found under all the rubble.
The considerable problem is that stick framed American construction isn't much against 100 mph winds, earthquakes, or fire, and we will be primarily worried about getting out of it in one piece.

A 1911A1 in a "Tanker" Shoulder holster is your ticket.
Those things are out of the way, comfortable enough and you can perform about any physical task while wearing one. They also have a retaining strap.
