You're flying to Death Valley, or driving?
August is probably the worst time to go; it's at its hottest.
I just flew through a couple of days ago.
You can stay at Furnace Creek, and supplies are available there and Stovepipe Wells. If you're driving, make sure people know where you are at all times and make a regular check-ins. Carry far more water than you think you'll need, for you and for your vehicle. Take a hat.
It's named Death Valley for a reason. It's not a touristy reason.
If you're flying, take your own tie down straps.
