Are there specific rules for using images from online?

Earthquake Questions
For example, I want to get pictures of the earthquake in Haiti to use for fliers for a fundraiser. Should I get permission from the site owner first, or can I use pictures from Google images? Are there any websites that offer free images for anyone to use?

Those Google Images pics belong to people too.
When in doubt ask permission. I don’t think anyone will say no if it’s for a fundraiser like this…

i think you can just use the images, unless it specifically states you cannot use the image..

Copyright applies to images on websites as well, and so unless permission is explicitly given to use the image then legally you cannot.
