Disaster Assistance Programs

Disaster Assistance Programs are government initiatives designed to help individuals and communities recover from natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. These programs offer various forms of support, including financial aid for temporary housing, repairs, and unmet needs, as well as grants and low-interest loans to help rebuild. They aim to ease the burden on affected people and restore their livelihoods. Eligible individuals typically apply through federal or state agencies, such as FEMA in the United States, which assesses damage and determines the available assistance. Overall, these programs play a crucial role in disaster recovery efforts.
