Beyond the recovery assistance this list can provide,
I am suggesting you consider donating to the relief
organizations if you can--if only $5.  Every little
bit helps.  I can tell you first hand that the Red
Cross site is very easy to use, and they send you a
receipt (I made my own contribution two days ago
before leaving for work knowing there was going to be
significant devastation).  

Here are some sites to consider:

It's going to take a nation--and more--to help our
brothers and sisters in the affected areas of the US.
