Haiti earthquake: How to help

A list of charitable organizations active in the nation
The U.S. State Department Operations Center said Americans seeking information about family members in Haiti should call 1-888-407-4747. Due to heavy volume, some callers may receive a recording. "Our embassy is still in the early stages of contacting American citizens through our Warden Network," the U.S. State Department said in a statement. "Communications are very difficult within Haiti at this time."

The Hope for Haiti Now fundraiser is running on a huge block of stations tonight. There are so many celebrities volunteering to participate, I think the show will go over.

There's also another easy way to donate. If you have an iPod or iPhone, the app CauseWorld will allow you to donate to the Red Cross through karma points, and donations to Haiti right now are being doubled by the corporate sponsors of CauseWorld.
