Critical First Steps to Follow After Disaster

Recovering from a disaster is a gradual process. Safety is a first and primary issue, as are mental and physical well-being of you and your family. Especially if you've never been impacted by a disaster before, recovery information, or the lack of information, can be overwhelming. If guidance and assistance is available, knowing how to access it makes the process faster and less stressful. We want to offer best practice steps to take after disaster. These steps will begin the process to get your family, home, and life back to normal.
