I've already sent my donations. A friend of mine is with the Ecuadorean section of the UN disaster-relief team, and they shipped out yesterday from Quito. They're the section of specialists in rebuilding quickly and securely after quakes of this magnitude (lots of practice at home - Ecuador is the world leader in quake-resistant architecture).

Really drives home to you how powerful this planet is, that we take for granted. All in all, I think I prefer the volcano.
