Does anyone know what the links for this / these are? Is there an official UN or humanitarian agency site? Or are these existing sites that are being used? Or is one going to be set up to avoid duplication?
Even if there are only a few with internet access giving the scale of the destruction, maybe they are able to post messages on behalf of others, as well as being somewhere for relatives anxious for news.
With so many communities here in the UK with relatives in the region it would be good to be able to pass links on.

Many of us on this list work in international development, and almost all of us work for mission-based organizations. You are, therefore, probably already being asked by volunteers and others how to help those affected by the devastating tsunamis in South East Asia.
There are two excellent web sites that I suggest to help guide those who are interested in identifying what organizations are working in this region that would be happy to accept donations to help the people affected by these tsunamis, and provide extensive updates on relief efforts:
