Be aware off
Fraudulent Organizations:
If possible, donate to organizations you know and trust, not to new
organizations just set up for this particular event. The IRS maintains a
list of tax exempt charitable organizations [1]. This list is not 100%
up to date, and it takes a while for a new organization to be added. But
it can serve as a first sanity check.
Malware: Malware may be advertised as a video report of the event or come under other pretenses.
