With the crisis in Haiti escalating, we decided earlier today to turn over the top of our home page and each of our 17 sections to the relief efforts, and the many different ways we can all help. This moment of human tragedy and intense suffering is also a great opportunity to tap into our better instincts of empathy and compassion -- and take action. Clickto see a slideshow of the different tops we featured for most of the day (and are still featuring on a number of sections), and read about what aspect of the relief effort each of the sections have been covering.

As the crisis in Haiti escalates, we have decided to turn over the top of our home page and each of our 17 sections to the relief efforts, and the many different ways we can all help. This moment of human tragedy and intense suffering is also a great opportunity to tap into our better instincts of empathy and compassion -- and take action.

Leading the way is our HuffPost Impact section, with its comprehensive coverage of the ways we can each make a difference in the shattered lives of those in Haiti.

Technology shows us the impact of "Mobile Mobilization" and new online responses to the earthquake, along with a roundup of how college students around the country have risen to the occasion.

Politics looks at the different approaches Washington is taking to helping Haiti, from legislation in Congress to fundraising on K Street to appeals from elected officials.

Entertainment looks at both the traditional and the surprising ways celebrities are supporting Haiti relief efforts.

Sports features coverage of the ways athletes, leagues, and teams are responding.

Media highlights how the news networks are "doubling down" on their Haiti coverage.

Business looks at how the corporate world is stepping up and pitching in.

So give these sections a look... and give whatever you can to help alleviate the suffering of the people of Haiti.
