nbanta A friend in Taiwan passed along the following ways to help:
Word on the street is that volunteer slots are pretty much saturated for the moment and disaster relief efforts are well underway.
Besides manpower the most important issues at hand are to accommodate children who need to start school and need temporary shelter or to be sent to schools in the area so that their lives can continue even with the devastation of the typhoon.
Donations to nonprofits and the government are definitely better than companies as companies can count donations as tax-writeoffs.
Some of the best ones in my opinion are Tzu Chi.
