I know that the Southern Baptist Convention has a Disaster Relief Team that each state convention has that is very efficient at getting help to the people who need it most. I am sure that they already have their teams there with more help on the way. Contact a local Southern Baptist Church for more information. Any donations go 100% to what it is designateded towards.
The Salvation Army may have relief operations down here similar to the Red Cross. Perhaps their website offers a way to donate. Another possibility is the Southern Baptist Convention. They have a well-established relief "army" which mobilizes in response to disasters like this. They bring in mobile kitchens, supplies of staple items, and work crews to clear up debris. You might see if they offer a way to donate.
I was thinking that, too. I'm going w/Salvation Army.
