When Disaster Strikes!
If you or someone you know has been impacted by a disaster, these are some steps to take:
  • First – Ensure you and your family are safe.
  • If your disaster received a FEMA Declaration, be sure to register with FEMA even if you have insurance.

  • If your disaster does not receive a FEMA Declaration, pay close attention to local media for instructions on how to receive assistance.

  • File insurance claims.
  • Be sure you do not change the status of your property significantly before you have FEMA and insurance inspections.
  • Remember to stay close to your family and friends, tell your story to good listeners, and take care of yourself with good rest, nutrition, exercise, hydration, relaxation.

The list of members will show you trusted disaster organizations to whom you might donate or with whom you can affiliate.
