Emergency Resource Links

The DRC has been receiving calls from people looking for help with flood-related problems. While we are sympathetic for the many losses that have resulted from this crisis, we are sadly unable to provide any direct relief for flood victims. We hope that some of these other community resources can be helpful:

Local Resources

Federal Emergency Management Agency

Private residents, who received damages or losses resulting from the recent floods and winter storm events, can now register for assistance. As time for filing is very limited, all parties who suffered damages should apply, even if other avenues for recovery of the damages sustained have not yet been resolved.

Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management

KCDEM is the primary clearinghouse for public information related to the flooding. This is also the place to file a claim for damages.

DSHS Community Services Office

Disaster Food Stamp Program provides help for people suffering damage or lost income because of a disaster, if they incurred expenses while protecting their home during the disaster, or if they have no access to bank accounts or other financial resources.
