This is another disaster where the needs are so geographically widespread that my best advice on giving is to just pick a person/group/ organization and give them money.

My personal approach in a situation like this is to do the following:
1. Help anyone I know personally who needs help
2. Donate to any groups I've worked with before/ know they're effective
3. Local groups that serve marginalized people that haven't gotten many donations

I do usually recommend donating to groups that work on recovery rather than response. I actually feel differently in this situation specifically because of the pandemic. So this isn't a factor I'm considering right now.
You're basically looking to get cash as close to the people who need it. If you trust it, I favor a gofundme to a national organization) and to groups that haven't already "gone viral".
(This isn't to say there aren't reasons to donate to national groups. Just not my priority.)
