The Americas have responded nicely. Still waiting for Cuba to do something, though.
Canada sent a military team to assess needed household goods, tents and sanitation packages.
US sent military response including ships, helicopters, transport planes and a 2,000 member marine unit to assist with aid distribution or law enforcement.
Mexico will send doctors, search-and-rescue dogs and infrastructure damage experts.
Do you know anything about it?

Pick on them then. But learn a little history about it too.
Some city planners and engineers would be a good start.

EDIT: Have no idea why the spacing is screwed up.
