Responding to disaster

The scenes coming from Japan these last few days are heartbreaking...sometimes I cannot watch the endless renderings from CNN and Sky for more than a few minutes without wanting to just do SOMETHING to help these people. I have donated money to volunteer groups heading over there but it gnaws at me; how does one respond more personally, and to whom, but more importantly where does one get accurate information on what is really happening. My 9 year old believes from the two minutes of CNN he surreptitiously snuck that all Japanese have been killed. Where else does one get updated information other than these carrion sources.
