hello i really felt for what has happend and i am praying and hoping everything will be over soon but life is not easy i would like to know how i can donate when i raise some fund and am i allowd to raise fund?
The Prime Minister's National Relief Fund(PMNRF), created shortly after Independence, provides immediate relief to people in distress. The Fund depends entirely on voluntary donations received from the public.
Checks/Money Orders should be drawn in favor of "Prime Minister's National Relief Fund" can be sent to any one of the following addresses:
Prime Minister's Office,
New Delhi 110011.
INDIA

My friend and I are U.S. citizens, and are currently in Ahemdabad. We would like to come to Kashmir (Imdia or Pakistan) and physically help out, if this is needed. Please let me know how I can go about doing this... email me at rkanani@gmail.com.
Hello,
I'd be really thankful if it was possible to have someone take pictures of and also receive information about the work of fire services in the affected region.
I run a firefighting blog in Germany, this would be one way to raise the awareness about what happened there.
Thanks in advance,

here is some pakistan-centric info:
while it is simply not possible to collect and share information about all individuals/ organisations/ groups who are providing relief, this page has some pointers and link that you may find useful:

which is a part of http://pakistan.wikicities.com/wiki/Earthquake_10-05

read "aware" instead of "awared" in my previous posting. i.
SOS Children have reported that their village in Muzaffarabad is badly damaged but none of their children are dead see Kashmir Earthquake
Good job guys, keep it up.
If you want a list of places to donate visit tinyurl.com/c8rd2
I maintain a reasonably comprehensive list of relief efforts on my website (insanityworks.org). People who want to contribute might want to take a look at that.
Dear Sirs,
I have tried to contact some responsible person to just give an idea of lifting the roofs which have collasped after the quake without using heavy machinery.
I am sure that heavy machinery will not be able to reach the interior villages.
We can use 5 Ton Chain Pully with 20ft tripod to lift the slabs upto four feet. The bigger building would require cutting in half with gas torch and then lifted to 3 to 4 feet without any other assistance. This is how we can solve the problem of most of the villages to remove the dead bodies or save the children.
If you face any problem you can contact me on tel 8001749, Cell 0345-5107958
If there are any relief organizations working in the Kashmir area please do get in touch with United Way Mumbai if assistance is needed.

DART ready if Pakistan needs it, says minister
Last Updated Wed, 12 Oct 2005 12:34:20 EDT
CBC News
Canada's Disaster Assistance Response Team, also known as DART, stands ready to head to the earthquake disaster zone in Asia, Defence Minister Bill Graham said Wednesday. All that's needed is a request from Pakistan's government.
A Canadian military reconnaissance team has left for Islamabad. The group is headed by Canada's top military officer in Afghanistan, Col. Steve Noonan, whose four-day fact finding mission is aimed at finding out "what type of assistance [Canada] can provide," said Graham.
As many as 40,000 died when the 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Pakistan, India and Afghanistan on Saturday. The UN estimates two million were left homeless.
Canada has said it will contribute $20 million to an earthquake relief fund.
The DART team is on standby in Canada and airlift capacity for the life-saving facility is being arranged, said Graham.
"We will have the capacity [to send the DART team to the disaster zone]," he said during a media briefing from Kabul. All that is needed is for Pakistan to make a "specific" request for DART. The response team includes an emergency medical facility, a water purification plant and an engineering operation.
DART was most recently used this year in Sri Lanka, as part of the tsunami recovery. It was also used in an earthquake zone in Turkey in 1999. During that operation, DART treated more than 5,000 patients in its field hospital and produced more than 2.5 million litres of purified water.
Although Graham was unsure whether the Pakistani government will ask for DART, the minister said he expects to hear more from Col. Noonan about what further aid Canada might contribute.
Message to government of Pakistan: ASK for DART.

CHAKKAR, A town in Azad Kashmir is one of the worst effected areas from the earthquake. Chakkar is located around 150 Km from Muzaffarabad on the Sudhen Gali Bagh Road. A driver of our office who belongs to Chakkar has arrived back from the area. He informed that the roads to Chakkar are still blocked and the only way to reach his town Chakkar is by foot. He had to walk for two days from Muzaffarabad to Chakkar only to find aboslute sorrow and dismay. No Relief/Aid has arrived the area. Among his immediate relatives, he has lost his brother and wife from another brother and other than that there are numerous casualties and injured in his family.
CHAKKAR has already been identified as the worst hit areas by ISPR but still no supplies have reached the area. A Helipad is present in Chakkar and has been utilized in the past. Kindly convey to the authorities for making urgent arrangments for supply of aid and necessary accessories to this town as residents are in desperate need.
Salaams,

Please list this site in your blog. http://donations.wowla.com
It is the only site (as far as I know) that can accept donations online using credit cards. Hence, it is the simplest way to donate by people residing outside Pakistan
The Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) has embarked on a three-week mission to investigate how journalists and media outlets have been affected by the disaster.
A four-member team left the southern capital of Karachi on 15 October and is expected to complete the mission in early November. The aims of the mission are to assess the extent of damage to media institutions such as press clubs and local publications; to assess the extent of loss to individual journalists and their family members, and equipment and property; and to assess the level of support being received by victims. PPF will compile detailed cases of journalists killed and media outlets affected by the earthquake.
PPF will also be meeting with local journalists, government officials and non-governmental organisations to assess the immediate, short term and long term needs of journalists and media outlets.
According to the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), three journalists are confirmed dead, while five are missing. Those who died were Sardar Hanif of the daily newspaper "Jang" in Bagh, Abdul Hafeez of the daily "Juraat" in Muzzafarabad and Javed Iqbal Butt of the daily "Jinnah".
Eleven journalists suffered injuries while an estimated 50 journalists have suffered personal losses, says PFUJ. Some of them have lost family members. Most of them have lost their homes.
To find out more about PPF's mission, contact ppf@pakistanpressfoundation.org

Asalam O Alikum,
Im sania and i would like to add that If "Government of Pakistan adopt the policy for those who are left homeless/whose parentas are no more there and who are orphans now should be kept in one or two places and not more than that under custody of Govenment only. Every Pakistani should know the address and access number so that after the people are back to normal life may found their own relatives and dear ones from there otherwise im afraid it would be quite difficult for any one to found their missing brother/sister/son/daughter/mother/father etc.... in the whole country. Govt. may take help from EDHI centres or they can provide a huge building in which only these effectees are placed atleast for one year. Afterwards they may be handed over to some other person or family if interested for adoption. May Allah decrese the pain of our brotherhood. We are with you. Dont worry it will be over soon.
Youll see the morning sun.
Regards to all,
Sania Razi

I have many close friends in Pakistan and have visited the country before. Seeing such devistation in a country where I was made to feel so welcome makes me feel so sad and helpless. I am a trainee teacher working in a primary school in Uk. The staff and pupils at our school are interested in raising funds to help rebuild an affected school in Pakistan. how would i go about contacting someone about this? Please contact me at leanneturner84@yahoo.com
I am trying to find a podcast about what's going on in the earthquake area.
I run digitalpodcast.com and would like to feature a good podcast about this.
I am working to get the podcast community helping to raise awareness.
I am in Brisbane Australia and I cannot believe how quickly this disaster has disappeared from all media here. Is it the same in other Western countries?
I have decided not to send Xmas cards this year and instead email everyone an "e-card" with a link to this and a couple of relief effort sites, with the suggestion that we donate instead of send cards.
Alll the links Under "Resource List" dont seem to work. Please update this.
I would like to donate warm clothes and shoes to the earthquake victims.....no where can I find an address for mailing. Can you help?
