On another note, Michael Baisden said to send items but to NOT send clothes because these items are unable to be stored or whatever is the case. So we have the Red Cross asking people NOT to send supplies at all and other groups asking people TO send supplies but NOT to send clothes.
I recommend people just donate money. Donate through REPUTABLE donation agencies. Let the "experts" figure out the rest. Certainly DO NOT plan on making a trip to Haiti (which some people are trying to do) unless you are being invited and housed by an organization like the Red Cross. They are trained to deal with such crises whereas the average citizen IS NOT. You will do nothing but get in the way and request things (i.e. lodging because you aren't familiar with Haiti and expect a Ramada hotel) that the "experts" have already worked out for the people they have flown in to help.
