Club emergency donation thought

I just finished making a donation to relief efforts post hurricaine and it got me thinking.
Carla and I lost everything in Sandy, and we were hotel nomads for the two years following. Still, we had food, water, and knew where our families were.
I cant image what those people in the Bahamas and parts of the Carolinas are going through right now.

I know NJRC used to make charitable donations to groups that support ocean life.
If we still do this, it might be nice to hit the humanitarian end and make the odd exceptions of donations for search and rescue, food, and medical relief to catastrophe victims.

The International Medical Corps, Red Cross, Mercy Corps, and Americares are all examples of 501(c)(3) groups, have people on the ground, and use 100% of doantions for relief efforts.

Just a thought.
