The international Red Cross? Dunno, really

I really doubt that that is warranted at the moment.. There are SO many people there right now, the NY mayor said they have more volunteers than they really know what to do with right now.. Unless you're trained as a medic, or something that would be useful like search and rescue, I don't think it's necessary.. Right now though, if you want to help, you can donate money to the red cross, who will see it gets to the people who need it.
