People are very frustrated when they see the slowness of the response (to the hurricane). People figure they can give a gift very quickly. The slowness of the response is part of what triggered this outpouring of donations.

It is definitely possible. It depends on what the government decides to do and how much more money is needed from the private sector, ... A lot of people wait until they are asked by a role model. Celebrities are very good at encouraging people to give to causes.

attention call certainly charities disaster effort expect giving period quite scale waves
The scale of this disaster is so big, that there is certainly going to be a lot of effort by the charities to call attention to long-term needs. So I would expect that giving will go in waves for quite a long period of time.
