Disasters can effect every part of the United States and at any time of the year.
They can strike swiftly and without warning. They can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. In addition to natural disasters such as floods and tornadoes, you may be exposed to radiological and hazardous materials accidents. Each type of disaster requires clean-up and recovery. On top of the physical labor and the money that may be needed, the period after a disaster is often very difficult emotionally for the family, and at times as devastating as the disaster itself.
