Disaster Recovery
If you or people you know are recovering from disasters, here are some things to keep in mind.
Adjusting to life after disaster can be tiring
It is common to feel tired or worn out even with enough sleep. You may be surprised by the intensity of your emotions. Everyone reacts to stress in their own way.
Take Care of Yourself
Eat healthy foods when possible and get plenty of rest. Accept help from others when it is offered. If you have some down time, you can talk, play games, or spend time with friends or family.
There are many ways to help those affected by this event
