I am with you Mephisto, any amount seems too small given the circumstances. In defense I would hope those totals will increase as more news is heard, as specific needs become known and the extent of damage is made more clear. I would also suggest a lot of logistical support will come from Britian and the US, and that is likely not included in these dollar figures.
