One of the worst things that can happen in a situation like this is a massive influx of foreigners looking to help. You need expertise not manpower.
The people being sent will be tasked with working out who is needed on the ground and coordinating with local authorities and other international missions to agree who provides what. Once this is known then more people will be brought in.
Right now the priority is to find those trapped by still alive, but over time lots of different skills are required.
