The Truth Laid Bare is trying to organize bloggers' donation efforts. They've asked bloggers to register their blog and write about disaster relief efforts so I've done that. There are many organizations ramping up to help with disaster relief so I've included a list of the major ones below.
If you want to read more about what bloggers are trying to do, then visit these links: Glenn's roundup post at Instapundit, Technorati flood aid, and Hurricane Katrina.
Places where you can find out how you can help, what is needed, and how to donate.
