Some people are surviving on just coconuts because they are afraid to fish due to all the dead bodies. I have family, friends and employees in the Philippines, fortunately they are all safe and were in areas only battered by the heavy winds and rain. I was told many years ago they were suppose to build a WALL near Tacloban, knowing it was a bad area for storm surges, but politics prevented that from ever happening. The devastation is so heartbreaking! No one knows what to do, it&#x27;s just so overwhelming. OH.. and there&#x27;s another storm, Zoraida, approaching the southern Philippines just days after this super storm.

Can anyone comment on the relative efficiency of charitable donations to disaster relief, as opposed to other programs?<p>I think it would be a mistake to bias charitable donations towards acute problems as opposed to chronic ones.<p>But on the other hand, increases in the total amount of charitable giving are a net plus, so I&#x27;m not complaining about this story, I just think it&#x27;s good to think of the bigger picture too.

This whole thing is just heartbreaking. I live in Manila but spent the majority of my life in Bicol, a southeastern province facing the pacific, making it one of the most typhoon-prone parts of the country.<p>I watched the local news over dinner today and here is the latest:<p><pre><code> People sleeping near the tarmac, waiting to get out of Leyte as soon as possible. Ports in Cebu are filled with people going to Leyte, some travels are cancelled due to bad weather. Businessmen complaining about the looting and wants to leave the province, demanding security from the government &quot;for a long time&quot;. They also said that these looters are organized and are taking advantage of the current state of the province. A lady telling the story of his children eating spoiled food. I can&#x27;t quite translate the whole story from the local language but this one really touched me. A child pleading for help, saying &quot;wala nang pagasa&quot; (Hope is gone). The Department of Help urged the local government to postpone the burial of the dead. Some of the baranggays (local communities) are still isolated.</code></pre>

Can we as a community think of anything we could do help this situation?<p>Is anyone helping people locate loved ones?<p>Is anyone giving people a way to report where help is most needed?<p>Is anyone giving bystanders like us direction on how we should help?<p>If funds are needed, is anyone taking charge in rallying the support needed for private donations?

&quot;THIS STORY MAKES PEOPLE SAD&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not familiar with Rappler and have never seen this emotion voting before.<p>Edit: For 5%, this story makes them happy?! This story makes me want to help. Looks like people are adding details on how to do so. Ignore this trivial comment and see those. Thanks.<p>Edit 2: Here&#x27;s a related thread on Reddit for details on what&#x27;s happening and how to donate:<p>Emergency appeal in response to Typhoon Haiyan (self.doctorswithoutborders)<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/doctorswithoutborders/comments/1qejwm/emergency_appeal_in_response_to_typhoon_haiyan/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;doctorswithoutborders&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1qejw...</a>

This quote really got me choked up, &quot;I am a decent person. But if you have not eaten in 3 days, you do shameful things to survive,&quot; ...as for Rappler&#x27;s mood meter, I&#x27;m definitely SAD and angry about all this.

This is a scenario Silicon Valley libertarians would be cool with. &quot;The market will take care of it&quot;, right? Still waiting for the libertarians to move to the Philippines...
