Non-Monetary FEMA Resources Where the President has declared a federal disaster, individuals and households


may seek assistance from FEMA in the form of money, as discussed earlier in this manual, and through a wide range of other services offered by the Agency. These programs are designed to help meet disaster applicants’ sustenance, shelter, and medical needs during their path to recovery. They include:


 Mass Care and Emergency Assistance o Shelter, feeding, distribution of emergency supplies, evacuation support, reunification of families, locating household pets, specialized needs, coordination of volunteers, functional needs populations.


 Crisis Counseling Services o Community based outreach and educational services, assistance for state’s mental health providers to offer counseling services to disaster survivors. dealing with the long term effects of the disaster


 Disaster Legal Services (DLS) o This is you!


Voluntary Agencies Not only are the Voluntary Organizations first to provide disaster assistance, they


are among the last to stop providing assistance. Examples of voluntary agencies include: the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and Catholic Charities. In the event of a presidentially declared disaster, it is likely that Long-Term Recovery Committees (LTRC) will be formed to help address disaster-related unmet needs. The LTRCs coordinate with the FEMA Volunteer Agency Liaison (VAL). Together, they assist with getting donated materials, professional construction services, and address unmet housing needs.
