Recovering from a Natural Disaster

Recovering from a Natural Disaster

PROJECT PORCHLIGHT OFFERS FREE ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS OF NATURAL DISASTERS.

Disasters create unique challenges. If you’ve ever been in the path of a natural disaster, you know firsthand the kind of chaos and widespread disruption these events can create for families and communities.

For many, the financial impact of a natural disaster can be devastating and long-lasting. Beyond property damage and the cost of repairs and improvements, there may be costs associated with:

  • Preparing your home and property in advance of a potential disaster
  • Finding temporary shelter if displaced from your home
  • Temporary or long-term loss of income

Many survivors of disasters are forced to dip into savings or fall into debt as they rebuild their lives and their homes. If you’ve experienced a loss of income due to the disaster, recovery is even more challenging.

DON’T FACE RECOVERY ALONE

Help is available for survivors of natural disasters but accessing that aid can sometimes be difficult. Fortunately, you don’t have to go it alone.

Project Porchlight from Money Management International (MMI) is a free service for the survivors of natural disasters, designed to help you understand your options and successfully navigate the recovery process. Key features include:

  • Assistance with FEMA aid applications
  • Guidance through the insurance claims process
  • Personalized recovery plan
  • Regular check-ins and ongoing support from a trained counselor

OPTIONS INCREASE THE SOONER YOU START

Project Porchlight is not a Day 1 resource. Make sure you’ve addressed your basic needs first before worrying about your finances.

Once things are stable, however, you’ll want to connect with a Porchlight counselor quickly to maximize your options and give yourself the best chance at a fast, seamless recovery.
