Disaster Case Management is a free service that helps individuals and families navigate the complex recovery process after a disaster.

What the Program Does

A trained case manager works directly with survivors to:

• • Identify unmet needs
  • Develop personalized recovery plans
  • Coordinate services with FEMA, nonprofits, and local resources
  • Connect residents with funding, repairs, housing, and long-term support

Why It Helps
