One of the biggest issues is the holdup of supplies at the port where there was damage to the facilities. Getting logistics in place when there is a limited supply of gas/electricity/communication makes everything more difficult, along with the government bureaucracy.

For anyone who is interested in helping increase the ability of first responders and folks on the ground to better respond to events like this, consider building tech and startups that aid in volunteer management and distribution, communication systems when power and cell towers are down, logistics networks to get supplies to places in need. Much of this stuff is not innovative tech, someone just has to care to retrofit solutions that exist already to the needs of these scenarios. Heck, the Red Cross volunteer signup page is just a wufoo form. So much can be automated and modernized.
