I did see that the State of Maryland moved very quickly to ask people not to
send unsolicited donations - this is from their main release prior to
Irene's landfall: "Public donations of materials without specifically being
requested can also be a severe burden to emergency management officials
because they must plan for the collection, storage, transport and
distribution of the materials often before a need for specific items has
been identified.    At this time, cash is the best form of donation.and
there are a number of organizations that can accept cash and procure
specific items for survivors based on need.  "
