About three weeks after Eaton destroyed firefighters, Pete and Angela Mitchell need to answer what to do next.

They registered for the help of the FEA, but there is a letter to confirm. After a 90-minute call from the agency’s assistant and in a long day, it was learned that a fement recovery center needs more insurance documents. However, their insurance agency was burned. Now there are documents, but they can’t figure out how to load them.

For them, four dogs and cats will be reconstructed for several years, and how they have been to a temporary place for several years, they will live for several years.

“It’s a marathon, not a sprint,” said Angela, but they do not know who can guide them. Fema and the media are concerned about what happened when the next crisis. “We will be here, we fight.”

The wild worries of Los Angeles affected by tens of thousands of people. To help, there will be a record number of disasters boxes and defenders to support the survivors of non-profit in the region, to associate their sayings, and to support their righteous resources.

“At the lowest point in their lives is someone who helps them to heal and restore them in their lives,” said Claire Balsey, the restoration of new orleans-based disasters.

Given the scale of the rubble, non-profit organizations expect a terrible need for these services.

The term “unprecedented” cannot be more accurate, “said Los Angeles District Community Recovery Organization or Larcro Executive Director Jenni Campbell.” The number of agencies and organizations forward to participate in disaster works is not visible. “

Disaster Box Managers (DCMS) are assistants that support households with a long-term recovery plan and support their households, but many non-profit resources offer other lawyers and employees and employees can nav.

“Everyone is as much as possible to participate in his life, but we want to direct them in the right direction,” Shaun McCarty, the Disaster Fighting Management Program Manager in Los Angeles’s Catholic philanthropic manager. “They don’t want to make mistakes as they clean their property or spending money later.”

The need for support is clear. From January 27, the application was submitted to 112,000, but about 112,000 fema appeals, about 19,000 of them were approved by the agency, only about 19,000.

Those who receive a letter called “not approved” need to submit more documents or submit types correctly. Balsley said these families have decisions to apply. “A rejection answer does not mean the end of this road, this is the beginning of the conversation,” he said.

But this process can be heavy.

“If they don’t have a way forward and do not have a lawyer, many people think that many people are giving up,” said Melissa Baurer, Santium Hospital and Clinics in Santium Hospital and Clinics.

His Hospital, the 2020 Sanedim in the North-West Oregon, Canyon hired people to support the fire. Eight applications to confirm a client’s small business management credit. The Fema 14 times have called 14 times in four months to receive a home payment.

“We have given box gloves in this business manager,” said Baurer. “He just went to fight against every femon complaint and never disappeared for any answer.”

People who do not trust, people who struggle after disasters have no help, and experts say, suffering from the former information or past trauma of communities.

“The fight management is not only about human relationship, not by navigating documentation.”

2023 After Maui Wildfire, CNHA, Lahaina hired the “Community Care Navigators”, who saved themselves. “Their experiences have allowed them to maintain the sense of understanding and shared understanding of their personal levels with the members of society,” said Razon-elderly.

In Los Angeles, the first step is to find people who lose only homes, tenants, tenants, small business owners and work and saying these services. Many have never heard of disaster work, including Mitchells.

They said they were interested only after calling people from man to be transferred to a person, especially after calling the DEPULATION, especially after calling the DEA. “You do not have centralized attention or contact,” said Angela Mitchell.

Home farms can call local 211 crashes to get job management assistance or fill Larcro, los angeles and other local organizations online. Some non-profit organizations, in the recovery centers and resource fairs, are connected to the survivors.

Campbell, Larco and Catholic philanthropists said they could start a DCMS shortcoming to evaluate the needs and triage events.

“We are truly trying to ensure that we do not multiply all the efforts and ensure that we are collecting everyone in need of help.”

It requires us to be sure that no one is missed, schools, churches and other community centers, Siugen Constanza, community affairs and Malibu are broadcast in a boy and girls club. The training of family therapists and social workers in the training calls families from Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School.

“If we add everything you need to ensure that in Starbucks, shelter, shelter, in a shelter, street, this support, the need for the employees of Spanish-speaking employees.

When providing funding for the management of FEMA disaster, most groups will trust the local gap to hire charities and employee managers. SBP’s Balsei said he saw the dividends of these donations. “We can help each dollar a charitable donor program, which survived the survivors for three dollars.”

Healthy support continues as long as they need programs. Campbell said that the DCMS still helped the Malibu, who saved the 2018 Woolsey fire.

“We do not go,” he said. “We remain until the long-term recovery process is over.”
