VCU's student and employee relief opportunities and efforts for Haiti are described in the VCU News' report "VCU Students Ramp Up Haiti Relief Efforts" (January 20, 2010).
Beyond VCU, a great starting place for earthquake information and the disaster in Haiti would be the the VCU Libraries' Earthquakes and Other Natural Disasters Resource Guide, compiled by Donna Coghill. It features links to news, science and disaster response resources, most of which appear on the open Internet, with no subscription required. Highlights include Haiti-specific pages by the New York Times, the World Health Organization, the US Geological Survey, and a guide to helping Haiti intelligently, from the Guidestar guide to nonprofit and charity organizations.
Professor Mark D Wood, who is teaching an Honors 398 class on Nature, Justice and Spirituality also recommends the following resources..
