Haiti earthquake
An earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck Haiti on Tuesday. It hit the capital Port-au-Prince and other areas of the country. The earthquake was also felt in other countries in the region. The most affected area is Haiti's West Province with a population of 2.2 million. The most urgent needs at this time... are search and rescue, field hospitals, emergency health, water purification, emergency shelter, logistics and telecommunications. A group of experts in disaster response, health in emergency and logistics will arrive in Haiti later today to support the Haitian Red Cross in the relief efforts and to begin to coordinate international assistance from members of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as well as other organizations. In addition, a Red Cross team will lead a damage assessment together with the Humanitarian Aid Office of the European Union.

Very very sad :( ...
I'm up to anything -- lets brainstorm.
Watching the news unfold and its so horrific. There must be something that we (QL) as an online community can do. We have what, about 150K members like Darude said, there must be something we can do.....its just so heart wrenching to see these bodies men, women, children lying in the street. No food, water...
Maybe a tie up with Red Crescent.
