There is a lot of debate in Canada about this. In theory we have offered a whole whack of support and been told "not yet" -- most people up here feel we should be heading down anyways even if we are not wanted, although part of the reason is that we don't trust our governments to tell us the truth about ANYTHING any more...

EDIT - For the record, I do feel this is as big a disaster (in the making at least; the real problems haven't started yet) as any in the world, and every bit as deserving of support. There over 500,000 homeless people in one place and they are going to need a huge amount of rushed in infrastructure to stay healthy.

On the lighter side, part of the problem is that all us other countries rely on USAF transport planes to move our search & rescue stuff around unless we charter from the Russians
