URLs snipped, as there's at least one phony 'disaster relief' thing
running around already. Most sensible people won't give to a new and
unknown charity. While many despise the Red Cross, there's still the
Salvation Army, UNICEF, and several other long time enduring
organizations that we can all give to, rather than something that may
be, uh, not as well organized (now isn't that a nice euphemism) for
actually getting our dollars to the ones in need.

The Red Cross has an international fund. We contributed
to that and UNICEF. I think that in a really large-scale disaster
like this, where there is a big inflow of money and a lot of it
should be applied quickly, large organizations like this are
best-suited to ramping up to meet the challenge, as long as
they are not weighed down by bureaucracy. For instance,
UNICEF has caches of filled water tanks in Asia for emergencies
like this.
