Just to get the word out, there are many organizations and both demonination and non-denominational ministries who are training people for emergency volunteer work. At this point in time, volunteers aren't yet welcome because of the insanely high levels of personal danger, but if you are trained you can rest assured you will be sent at some point. I know many of you are too young, or far too busy with your own lives for something like this, I know I myself am, but if there's even a chance someone wants to help, is able to help and just doesn't know how, that's what this post is for. Get in touch with local churches, missionaries, and any other private volunteer services to see what you can do.

Also, if you're able, consider donating blood. That'll be a necessity before too long, and it's not at all a difficult thing to do.
