As I wrote in a separate post yesterday, so many volunteers went to Mashiki yesterday that they had to close registration shortly after 9 AM:

It’s great that lots of people are trying to chip in. I hope, though, that people will not get the idea that because Mashiki got more volunteers than they could handle on a Saturday morning that the volunteering needs of Kumamoto have been met. There is a huge amount of work to be done and many places where needs have not yet been met. We will try to provide more information about volunteering opportunities and needs over the coming day.
