Marshalling effort to create a unified central web portal of relief work update/needs

I am in the process of trying to create/join with another US based site (www.saquake.org)
which is trying to harness all the great efforts being made by so many of us all over.

The goal is to have a central portal of information about the scene on the ground, efforts updates and needs assesments which can help us all here better channel our efforts to the disaster areas in Northern Pakistan.

The other objective is to partner with our other formidable organizations from NY to the Bay Area (CA), Chicago, Houston and Toronto to collaborate on where to make effective donations (monetary) and in kind, ie: tents, blankets, etc. It has been reported by some agencies on the ground that a number of tent shipments which have been sent, have not been appropriate. Many local NGO's are now just preferring monetary donations. These are just a few concerns.

Update on this will be forthcoming.
