Conclusion - Disaster Assistance Self Study
It is important that we assist the victims of disasters. We must help them reconstruct their homes and businesses from a tax, fiscal, and property standpoint. We can also help with their personal lives. If we recognize psychological and emotional issues, we should refer the victims to FEMA’s on-site counselor for help. No part of the country is immune from disaster – natural or otherwise. Remember, it could just as easily be you in need of the help.
