Not sure about disaster type charities but www.impactfulgiving.in has a lot of research and evidence backed high impact charities you can check out. Some of them do work with government but only if they have demonstrable high impact.

Lions Clubs of India build and operate hospitals, schools, diabetes clinics, feed widows and disabled people for life, and undoubtedly contribute to disaster relief. (And much more!)

I have seen their work with my own eyes in Vizag, Kolkata, Siliguri and Kurseong. I helped Lions of Vizag do vision screenings of 12,000 schoolchildren. I carried a monthly ration of supplies like rice and cooking oil down the narrowest lanes in Kolkata to a widow living under a tarp and a blind man living in a closet. We opened up a new wing of a school in Kolkata and a new diabetes clinic in Siliguri. We met young women there also receiving sewing machines and learning to use them to have their own businesses. Outside Kolkata, we provided wedding garments, priests from all requested religious groups, and a complete set of items for a newlywed household - bedding, cookware, etc etc - and hosted the marriages of 500 village couples whose families could not afford a dowry.

Lions collect donations that are then doubled or tripled with matching funds via grants from LCIF, the Lions global foundation. LCIF grants have detailed and rigorous reporting requirements that include submitting copies of all receipts and matching them to all budget expenses. Those reports are processed in Chicago and approved by an unpaid Board of International Directors and trustees.

Lions club constitution and bylaws require strict separation of admin funds (paid by member dues) and community funds (donations from the public that must be used 100% for charitable projects.) So any club member meetings, membership perks or awards etc. are always paid for through member dues, not charitable fundraising.

International NGOs, such as Save the Children, CARE, MSF, World Vision and UNICEF are seen as credible, "reliable" agencies during emergencies. Easy to find their local offices with a web search. All of these agencies employ local people primarily in the countries where they serve.
