Please donate to an organization that does disaster relief.
I recommend not designating a specific disaster, as it is common for highly publicized disasters, or the first of several closely spaced, to get more donations than needed, with not enough for others. I never did understand why there was such a fuss when an agency uses excess donations not needed for the designated disaster, for another that needs them. It just seems like the rational and humane thing to do.

NEW DELHI - Millions of poor villagers across southern India are facing an imminent food shortage following months of intense drought and recent devastating floods, aid agencies warned Thursday.
The worst floods to hit the southern Indian states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in a century have killed about 280 people, destroyed or washed away millions of acres of cropland and contaminated grain stocks in millions of homes.

"Floods and drought have set back India's fight against poverty by years," said Jayakumar Christian, director of World Vision India, an aid agency working in the region.
