The Red Cross provides information on shelter, how to let your loved ones know that you're safe, and how to begin the recovery process. You can also take advantage of small business disaster loans and deferred loans to make a fresh start. By working with your local area, you can build your skills and credentials while obtaining job training for permanent employment. Afterwards, you can use your newly acquired knowledge and expertise to help others in their time of need.

The United States Department of Labor supports a program that provides free mental health counseling to disaster victims. This is designed to help people cope with their loss and begin the process of rebuilding. This program is available for those who qualify. By working for FEMA, you can get short-term mental health services. However, you must be a survivor of a Presidentially declared major disaster in order to receive the services.
