Featured Government Website in June

Whether it is Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010, there will always be individuals seeking disaster relief and assistance.

No matter how dire the circumstances are, DisasterAssistance.gov is a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate, and reliable information source. Currently, 17 U.S. Government agencies, which sponsor more than 50 forms of disaster assistance, contribute to this website. It is a secure resource because individual disaster assistance applications are shared only with those agencies that you identify and are protected by the highest levels of security.

This web site features such useful sections as disaster categories, information on disaster victims' immediate needs, community resources, and information for U.S. citizens affected by disasters abroad ("Foreign Disasters").

A search feature and a Spanish language version of the site are also available for added convenience.
