Dont try to do this yourself, you will not get enough airflow and not to the right places.
The drywall will likely need to be ripped out and you need to dry the space behind it or you risk even worse problems.
This is serious stuff and even worse if there is insulation behind the drywall, you need to make sure its not wet back there and if it is you need high-flow fans and dehumidifiers to dry it out.
Call you insurance company and get them on it, thats what you pay for. Forget about the roof being covered, you have water inside and you dont want that turning to mold.
Time is critical in this high humidity weather.
