It’s tough pulling our eyes away from the news after hearing of devastating updates on Haiti’s earthquake victims.  We wanted to share some resources our team uses when wanting to stay informed, but still keep our daily lives going and flowing!

Google Alerts
Create a Google Alert with phrases like ‘Haiti earthquake’ or ‘Haiti relief’ and set to send updates as they happen.

If you just want to hear the biggest updates, and have them come to you no less, you can sign up for services like Yahoo! Mobile News, CBS Mobile News or The Washington Post to automatically ping your cell phone with news.
