Direct Temporary Housing

The road to recovery for many Hurricane Laura and Delta survivors includes placement into temporary housing units.

Damage to the existing housing stock in Southwest Louisiana from hurricanes Laura and Delta severely limited the availability of alternative housing options for households whose homes were destroyed or made unlivable due to major damage. To help meet the housing needs, FEMA’s Direct Housing Program was implemented. FEMA prefers to place temporary housing units on individual private property owned by the applicant to keep households in their community and near their jobs, schools, churches and friends, while they rebuild their homes and lives. But the process of placing temporary units on properties takes time; Each installation is a construction project.

The road to recovery for many Hurricane Laura and Delta survivors includes placement into temporary housing units, many of which are located in commercial parks.

To help meet the housing needs, as part of the Direct Temporary Housing Program, FEMA has identified a number of commercial parks with available pads throughout the affected areas to temporarily house displaced residents.

How to Help

Magboluntaryo at Mag-donate

Maaaring tumagal ng maraming taon ang pagbawi pagkatapos ng sakuna. Maraming paraan para tumulong tulad ng pag-donate ng pera, mga bagay na kailangan o oras mo. Matuto nang higit pa tungkol sa kung paano tumulong sa mga nangangailangan.

Huwag mag-self-deploy sa mga lugar ng sakuna. Mga pinagkakatiwalaang organisasyon  sa mga apektadong lugar alam kung saan kailangan ang mga boluntaryo. Makipagtulungan sa isang itinatag na organisasyon upang matiyak na mayroon kang naaangkop na kaligtasan, pagsasanay at mga kasanayan na kailangan upang tumugon.

FEMA Voluntary Agency Liaisons (VALs) bumuo ng mga relasyon at makipag-ugnayan sa mga pagsisikap sa mga boluntaryo, batay sa pananampalataya at mga organisasyong pangkomunidad na aktibo sa mga sakuna.

Pakikipagnenegosyo sa FEMA

Kung interesado kang magbigay ng mga bayad na serbisyo at produkto para sa tulong sa sakuna, bisitahin ang aming pahina ng Doing Business with FEMA para makapagsimula.

Kung nagmamay-ari ka ng negosyong may kinalaman sa pag-alis ng mga labi at gusto mong magsagawa ng paglilinis sa mga apektadong lugar, mangyaring makipag-ugnayan sa lokal na pamahalaan sa mga apektadong lugar upang mag-alok ng iyong mga serbisyo.
