When something threatens our health and well-being, people often people react with increased anxiety, worry and
anger. With support from community and family, most of us bounce back.
However, some may need extra assistance to cope with unfolding events
and uncertainties. If you are experiencing emotional distress due to the
storm, call the National Disaster Distress Helpline. This toll-free,
multilingual, crisis support service is available 24/7 via telephone
(1-800-985-5990) and SMS (text ‘TalkWithUs’ to 66746).
