Prepare and respond
The Heartland Disaster Help website was created by the Legal Services Corporation. It helps residents across the United States prepare for potential disasters, including flooding, wind, fire and extreme heat events.
The website allows residents to check their disaster risks by entering their address. It provides clear information and stories on steps to protect homes, families and finances from flooding, high winds, fires, heat waves and more. This includes insurance options, what to do before and after an event, and a list of local organizations that can help with preparation and recovery.
