Well... as it is the JP division of the Red Cross is saying it doesn't need the funds atm. US division just sent them $10 Mill, and there are no specific requests needed outside of the basics which they already have covered atm. So any money sent now might not actually get used for JP relief.

Maybe if things continue to go downhill things may change, but they say they appear to have it covered. Food, Gas, Water supplies are already in route, supplemental power sources are on the way, and temp. housing for the evacuees is already under construction. It's not perfect...but in the works.

Time will tell if it's enough.
