Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it’s important to know how you will respond. Decide how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find. Be sure you have Emergency Food and a First Aid Kit at the ready. #hemlockinsurancegroup #hemlockishere #emergencypreparedness #firstaidkit #familyreadiness #livingstoncountymi #livingstoncountyinsurance #brightonsmallbusiness #LivCo #HomeAutoLifeCommercialInsurance

What a great program for seniors.

An emergency preparedness kit is a must-have for your home. It's about being ready for natural disasters and any unexpected situation. Stock your kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, and a flashlight. Remember, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. #EmergencyPreparedness #AgentTip

WHAT IS INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE??? Individual Assistance (IA) from FEMA refers to aid provided directly to individuals and families in the aftermath of a major disaster or emergency. This assistance can include a range of support services and financial aid to help with temporary housing, home repairs, disaster-related medical and dental costs, funeral and burial costs, and other necessary expenses and serious needs not covered by insurance or other aid programs. The goal of Individual Assistance is to help affected individuals and families recover from the immediate impacts of a disaster. It's part of FEMA's broader mission to support citizens and first responders to ensure that the nation can effectively respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

📞Our emergency relief services are overwhelmed with demand. To give you an example - in the ACT region, we have seen 📈 38.5% increase in calls to the helpline 📈 27% increase in emergency relief requests and 📈34% increase in total dollar value of assistance. People ask for help with food, fuel and medical bills, emergency accommodation, rent and clothing.  ☑️ Emergency relief is not just for natural disasters… it’s the urgent need to have enough food – this continues to account for most of our support. There’s has been a huge increase in the number of working families needing emergency assistance.   ☑️ Each year the Society distributes over $50 million in emergency relief, which is funded primarily by income generated through our shops and some Commonwealth grant funding. Most of this assistance is provided by our members and volunteers through our home visitation program or at our centres. To read more about how we help Australians in need go to ▶️ https://lnkd.in/gw5Ejjhj   💙Please like and share to support #GoodWorks #StVincentdePaulSociety #Vinnies
