I think people are forgetting that many of the people trapped were either confined to hospital beds or in wheel chairs.
I didn't donate because I think there's plenty of charity disbursed already between the Red Cross, the Feds, athletes, entertainers, corporations/big business. Moreover, I feel I have already donated through my tax dollars.
If the Red Cross makes a plea for blood or volunteers, I would consider that (if I knew for certain the Red cross wouldn't sell my blood to a hospital as is their normal policy).
I am very impressed at how America rallied together and was so generous. It appears to me, that there is no further need for me to contribute. Especially seeing how we are turning away hundreds of millions of dollars from very willing foreign aid.
