What is disaster case management?

Disaster case management is a support service provided by nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, and government programs. A case manager helps the household navigate the complex recovery process, including applying for assistance, tracking deadlines, and coordinating with contractors and agencies. It is often available at no cost to the survivor and is a critical support channel for long-term recovery.

How do I find a case manager in my area?

Contact the local VOAD or the state emergency management agency for the LTRG in your area. Contact the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, or the Salvation Army for case management services. The state recovery office can also provide referrals to case management organizations.

Glossary Term: Disaster Case Management

Definition: A support service that provides a single point of contact for a disaster survivor to navigate the recovery process, including applications, deadlines, and coordination with agencies and contractors.

In Practice: Nonprofit organizations and government programs provide case managers who work with the household to create a recovery plan, submit applications, and track progress.

Why It Matters: Disaster case management reduces confusion and helps the household avoid missed deadlines or lost opportunities.

Glossary Term: Long Term Recovery Group (LTRG)

Definition: A coalition of organizations that coordinate long-term recovery efforts, including case management and rebuilding.

Case Origin: Why This Collection Exists

This collection carries the case management directory assembled during the 2026 reorganization of WindRainFlood.Com. The directory was produced by compiling the contact information and service descriptions of the organizations that provide case management services.

The legacy week-based pages on WindRainFlood.Com scattered the case management guidance across Month 6 and the Old Guide. Survivors reading those pages often could not find the specific organization for their need. The reorganization collected the lists into a single directory.

This collection is the proof side of the Long Term Recovery concept-proof pair. The Long Term Recovery page carries the method. This collection carries the directory.
