With our experience in such situations, however, we here at Mihalko’s General Contracting have created a list to help you help your friends and family.
How To Help In A Disaster
-
Send a check – Or gift card. Sometimes it takes time for the insurance company to send money to help homeowners with basic expenses such a groceries and a place to stay.
-
Clothing – Usually disasters leave families without basic necessities including clothing, toiletries or home items. Household basics are always needed.
-
Food – Deliver a home cooked meal or bring groceries. One could also host dinner at their home in order to give the family much needed comfort. Unfortunate situations tend to be even harder to deal with on an empty stomach.
-
Focus on children – If there are children involved in a disaster, consider taking them out to a local gaming restaurant or movie. It’s important to keep things as smooth and simple as possible for children experiencing a loss.
