drug companies and tsunami disaster
Since they expect the death toll from diseases to equal that of the disaster, there will be a need for massive quantities of life saving drugs. Antibiotics, antimalarials, etc. I suspect pharmaceutical companies already make small donations to NGO's, but I think there should be pressure placed on them to make massive, huge and UNPRECEDENTED donations. NOW. If they can afford to spend billions on lobbyists and bribing congressmen, they can do their part for humanity.
I found a partial list of companies, I'm focusing on the bigger ones.

1. this deserves a bump
not really sure what to do or say about it, but I know when something like this happens alot of people are rubbing their paws.

We know what type of people think like that. Jeb Bush for instance, who was so pleased at how good the hurricanes would be for the roofers of the state.

I must say though, as someone who works part type for some construction/carpentry guys, I'm slightly remiss I live in a part of the state that wasn't hit by any of the hurricanes. I guess I'm a big hypocrite.
