As far as organization, from what I've heard from people I know who are there helping, some parts are completely chaotic especially the farther away from the capital. In other areas people have had to step in and assume authority due to the government being non-existent.
There isn't even any clarity as to who controls the relief operations UN or US. And there are definitely various roles that were filled in by the US (air traffic control).

So are you mostly concerned about organization? Or also in terms of support given?
Looking at the numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina_disaster_reli...) I would be incredibly surprised if the Haiti relief efforts even come close to 1/10th of what was given to support Katrina (~$52 billion).

Maybe others can help chip in information?
