The urgent need in Haiti right now is for clean-safe-water, food, medical 
assistance, temporary shelter, rescue and recovery assistance people and 
equipment. (Not necessarily in that order).

 

Most people who can have already, or plan to donate funds, to help out with 
this.

 

The Red Cross, Salvation Army and other organizations are ready, able and 
willing to help Haitians with folks already there or on their way right now.
