I generally dislike the idea of the federal government using public funds to provide charity to localized disaster areas, but that's because I think charity should be a private thing and not forced on the populace through taxation.
I always give the first 10% of everything I make every paycheck to charity. Sadly, Uncle Sam has always taken that part from me and then some, leaving nothing for charity.
