Business Week has a great list of resources for getting assistance after a disaster. It's targeted at Katrina victims but contains great links for anyone needing help.
The Seattle Times also has an excellent article on preparing for a disaster, as well as a printable disaster tip sheet.
One of the latest recommendations coming from unfortunate Katrina victims' experience is this: 72 hours of emergency supplies is not enough. Experts are now recommending a week's worth of supplies, including water. As many Gulf Coast residents also found out, the police and other emergency services aren't prepared to respond even if the phones work, so people should be prepared to protect themselves.
