The international community is rallying to meet urgent needs -- from food, water and medical services to transportation and security, according to news reports. Search and rescue teams began combing the massive amount of rubble in the devastated capital, Port-au-Prince. Military teams from other countries began establishing communications, transport and security services -- critical needs in a country where government offices and basic infrastructure were destroyed by the most powerful earthquake in 200 years.

Two seperate teams will be traveling to Haiti to evaluate  needs like rescue operations, medical services and shelter, as well as logistical concerns like transportation and security.  If you would like to support this effort, please click on the site below and give generously.
