Here is a list of groups you may want to consider donating to, to help out with the rescue efforts.

Other than American Red Cross, I have never heard of any of these groups.

I've not heard of any that article listed - other than the Red Cross.

There is always Best Friends. They were involved with Katrina and Haiti and a couple of places in the Middle East.

A couple of the places mentioned in their piece are in the one posted by you, Sandie.

Just be careful about charities that you don't know about. Unfortunately there are dirtbags who will take advantage of tragedies.

One should always consider the performance of a charity in relation to the CEO's pay.
CEO compensation is easy enough to find on the net.

I just donated 2500 yen = 31.47 usd via paypal. It was quite easy. I can't imagine how much suffering is taking place, including the animals left behind due to the circumstances.

Thanks for reminding us that the animals are at risk there, too.
