The recent wildfires in Maui not only disrupted lives; they also brought about a pressing need for assistance and information.
In this blog post, Vets National provides information about resources available to veterans affected by the fires.
Navigating resources amid the Maui fires
Veterans affected by the Maui fires can find help through various channels, starting with the disaster-assistance hub, FEMA—the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
On FEMA’s website you’ll find information about disaster declarations, how to apply for aid, and how to find temporary housing, medical support, and more.
Support for housing and shelter
The American Red Cross plays a vital role in providing emergency shelter, food, and support to those affected by disasters. The Red Cross has a user-friendly website where you can locate shelters, access resources, and contact volunteers ready to help.
Remember, seeking assistance is a sign of strength. Good people are ready to stand by your side.
Replacing lost or damaged documents
Losing important documents like identification, medical records, and military-service records can compound the challenges you face. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) understands this and offers guidance on how to obtain or replace these documents. Their website provides step-by-step instructions, ensuring that you can rebuild your essential records and access the benefits you deserve.
We’re here to help you navigate these processes.
Financial assistance and insurance claims
Dealing with insurance claims and financial hardships can be overwhelming.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) helps by offering low-interest disaster loans to businesses, homeowners, and renters. Such loans can help you recover and rebuild if you were affected by the Maui fires.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provides guidance on filing insurance claims and ensuring a smooth claims process during difficult times.
