Here is something concrete that people can donate to or volunteer for:
Mujer y Salud (Dominican women's health NGO) is taking relief supplies to the provinces of Monte Plata, San Juan, El?as Pi?a, Pedernales and San Crist?bal. Supplies are for women, men and children affected by the flooding.
I've done a quick (and incomplete in the case of the medication list) translation.

1. Providing transport to the affected communities.
