Recovering Financially

A disaster can cause significant financial loss. Your apartment or home may be severely damaged or destroyed. You may be forced to live in temporary housing. Income may be cut off or significantly reduced. Important financial records could be destroyed. Take the time now to assess your situation and ask questions. Start with your local Red Cross chapter. It can provide assistance in a disaster and/or refer you to others in your community who could be of help.
