A True Doomsday Prepper
Given all the recent hurricanes, I thought this would be a good time to remind everyone about where to donate to really help people.
Go out and search for "Red Cross fraud" and you'll find a million hits. Examples:

"American Red Cross exposed as massive, incompetent fraud: built just six homes after collecting half a billion dollars in Haiti earthquake donations"
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/de/content/red-cross-fraud-reminder-2014
The American Red Cross has become a man-made disaster. It wasted millions of dollars in Hurricane Sandy aid through mismanagement and poor judgment. It compounded the problem by covering up its errors, hiring lawyers to prevent the public from finding out what happened to its donations. It had raised $312 million for storm relief, but then stonewalled on how the money was spent."
The Red Cross CEO has a "base salary" of $500k, and gets closer to $1million a year. Nice income for a charity. Red Cross does lots of "work" with military men, but often those men find in their next paycheck deductions for charges for this 'charity'. Rule of thumb is that Red Cross arrives just before the news cameras, and leave an hour after the TV people leave.
Bottom line: Red Cross is a good version of the Clinton Foundation, with generously poor use of the word 'good'.
Salvation Army is the exact opposite. They show up while wind is still blowing and bullets flying. They stay months after the cameras leave. They are not a self-promoting organization.The vast majority of their donations received go directly to help the needy (80-90+%). Their CEO makes $13k-130k, depending on who you believe and what you call 'income' vs 'expenses'.
If you are going to donate (and please do), please look into how much good the organization really is before you write the check.
