She said the doctors were all at the coast. When they get back to the offices, they will know the needs.

Any money you give now will probably just line someone's pocket.

My understanding is that large organizations such as Care, OXFAM, World Vision, etc. set up a fund and money will be used as needed as the recovery progresses. Some of these agencies already had warehouses stocked and were able to deliver water, etc. right away. The representatives from OXFAM and World Vision said they generally don't just give money right away but give or purchase needed supplies themselves. They probably have learned from experience. They also stressed that this would be a very long recovery effort. FYI..one of them mentioned P&G had donated all of their water purification kits.
