They are a very well-run charity who are actively helping. It is, almost certainly the best thing you can do to help people.
Yes, there is at least reasonable chance your money may end up paying for a half-dozen mosquito nets in Africa instead of 24 bottles of water in Fort Mac.

After personally experiencing what the Redcross does during the 2013 floods, i have zero hesitation donating to them. They get help to those in need, simple as that.
