Disaster Response Specialist | United Way of Southwest Louisiana

United Way Southwest Louisiana is building a diverse set of skills-based volunteers that will assist community members following an emergency. Disaster Response Specialists are currently being trained to provide direct help with FEMA Appeals for homeowners with denials or with funds that will not repair/replace a home and with Fannie Mae information.

As other training opportunities become available, these Disaster Response Specialists will be trained and ready for action if an emergency were to arise or as the ongoing hurricane rebuilding requires.

Disaster Response Specialists dedicate volunteer hours not only to training, but to in-person clinics that United Way Southwest Louisiana will offer to individuals and families in the area. If this is something you have time and energy to do, we welcome you to the team.
