Disaster Recovery

Finding Hope Again

Recovering from a disaster is usually a gradual process. The victims of the 9/11 attacks, the Fort Worth/Arlington Tornado and Hurricane Katrina could tell you that it takes time to get your home, community, and life back to normal. Immediately after an emergency, safety is a primary issue. Mental and physical well-being will continue to be a concern for some time afterward. It’s important to know how to access local and national help to make the recovery process faster and less stressful.
