Scenario

When disaster bureaucracy creates secondary trauma

I work disaster recovery and I have been helping the same families for eighteen months after the flood but FEMA deadlines are expiring and insurance companies are closing files and I watch people who survived the disaster get destroyed by the bureaucracy afterward.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You are witnessing the system designed to help survivors become another source of trauma that sometimes causes more lasting damage than the original disaster.
