* ... It's great that everyone wants to help the victims.  But I wonder that
only the Red Cross is mentioned.   
 Give money and time to the Salvation Army or any of the other groups. 
...
this is not your standard disaster, and not most americans truly understand
it's true scope ... due to its magnitude, red cross is the primary first
responder and their organization is better able to handle the immediate
issues and get the critical aid to the point it is needed (they have planned
for this, have the transport and warehouse facilities, access to aid supply
providers, better integration with FEMA, State, Regional, and Federal
organizations ...)

other organizations will be important later, but that's not now.  this is a
triage situation, focus on who can get the maximum aid to save the maximum
lives in the field now .. and the organizations that provide comfort / life
rebuilding later
