David,
There are also other ways people can help like indirectly donating money or
services to those people.
Especially as comunities and businesses start to rebuild there are other small
things we can do.
Here are few I found around the nets the other day...
I'm not sure what's the best way to let people that would need to know found
out about these but here they are.
* Azure Disaster Recover Storage for Brisbane Businesses

I'm sure there are other ways in which we can help them rebuild. These are just
few ideas.

Howdy all,
This is a one off cross-list cross post and spam to ask you for money.
As you are all probably aware, Brisbane received ~4.6 metres of flood waters
over the past two days. The CBD escaped relatively unscathed but there are a
lot of low-lying areas around the capital and up North that got completely
smashed. I have two close friends who have lost their homes and one who has
lost a floor of their home. One of them still can't even get back to see his
house at Graceville.
In some parts of the state, economically disadvantaged people in low lying
areas have lost their houses with no insurance.
There are two things you can do to help:
1. If you're local, Council is calling for whatever volunteers they can on
Saturday.
2. If you're local and interstate/international, you can donate to the
Premier's Flood Relief Appeal: http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html
