The struggling American company Motorola gave 285k USD as the initial donation. Its largest sector Mobile Devices lost 400 million USD for the first quarter in 2008. Motorola CEO Greg Brown sent an email to global employees to call for immediate donation through a dedicated website at http://american.redcross.org/
A couple of minutes after the email was sent, the website stopped working completely, most likely due to the heavy traffic caused by large amount of donation requests.

Foreign rescue and medical expert teams from Singapore, Japan, Russia have arrived in Sichuan province.
