In a disaster's aftermath, finding local community resources should be residents' first step in the disaster recovery process. Start by reviewing SCEMD's "Recovery Programs" webpage which lists resources and outlines the disaster recovery process.
Next, keep checking this webpage to see the availability of FEMA public or individual assistance. If your county of residence is listed for individual assitance, you may be able to apply for assistance on disasterassistance.gov. When you apply, you will be asked to provide the following: description of damage, address, Social Security number, contact information, insurance information, income, etc. If you have insurance, you should file a claim as soon as possible. FEMA can’t pay for losses your insurance will cover.
The SCOR Disaster Case Management team stands ready to assist to facilitate access to a broad range of resources to address individuals’ disaster-caused unmet needs. In the case that this event is federally declared, SCOR will deploy Disaster Recovery Reserve Corps members to assist in disaster case management. Our Disaster Case Managers may be able to assist with disaster recovery needs not addressed by community resources and FEMA disaster assistance. Contact our case management team at 803-898-2511.
