The International Red Cross is also responding:

Thanks for all of that information, mudra. Canada sent, so quickly! a couple of ships and DART, a mobile water purification system, really good. Sanitation is very important too. I was very happy that everything went so rapidly.

There are questions now about making sure that the donations that people are offering are safe, not stolen! and invested where their donors intended the moneys to be. That's good, and I hope that works out. Canada is also considering lifting immigration regulations for the interim, so orphans and/or family who survived are about to be with family in Canada - there is a large Haitian community here.
