Typhoon Haiyan: a few ways to help

[browngirl]

SO I had thought "there's no point in my signal boosting this, it's reached saturation," and then I reflected that that was aa foolish conclusion. SO, here's a brief and excellent list of resources, starting with Google's Typhoon Yolanda Person Finder:

It's good of you to help. What an awful mess!

We just sent a check to Mercy Corps, who are expediting food deliveries. (We love them. They have among the LOWEST admin. costs of any assistance org!) http://www.mercycorps.org/philippines

Hey, it's good of YOU to help. Right now all I can do is signal boost. Thank you for doing what you can!

U.S. Response

I just saw the NBC News coverage tonight, sad about the slow response in the hard-hit city of Tacloban. But I was pleased by a report from their chief medical correspondent -- Dr Nancy Schneiderman, Brian Williams' "right hand" for every kind of health news -- who had gone into a second badly devastated city AND found a team of U.S. doctors running a full-scale emergency clinic there.

That NBC sent a senior (and knowledgeable) person there is great, and her encountering this early response (the U.S. team were heading for an international conference, but rerouted themselves when they heard about the Philippine disaster) is even better!

There's much more to do!
