As well meaning as this sounds, the reports I've seen and heard suggest they
don't have houses or even power to use the PC's with...

Is there some organization close to ground zero that can confirm or deny
these efforts would be worth working on? no point sending a bunch of working
PC's into an area that don't need to be cluttered by such things... it may
end up being a downright hindrance to recovery.
