Two organizations that are ready to mobilize are the Salvation Army and the Red Cross. Within the next 2-3 days, expect all sorts of local groups throughout the nation (churches, news/radio stations, etc.) to organize relief efforts via donations. I'm sure you'll find it in your newspapers and local tv news.
The immediate priority in the affected areas is search and rescue for the next couple of days.

The immediate priority in the affected areas is search and rescue for the next couple of days. I think the need for tents is going to dwarf what FEMA has on hand.
By next week, we might need a national drive to get tents and tarps to build tent cities.
