Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Provides Disaster Assistance to Sailors and Marines in Need
This month the Society is raising awareness about resources to assist with preparing for an unexpected natural or human-made disaster and the financial assistance that may be available in the wake.
NMCRS works closely with the Navy and Marine Corps, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Red Cross, and local Emergency Response Teams to provide financial assistance to those affected. The Society's staff may provide financial assistance to service members and their families during an evacuation if there is sufficient time to leave the area of an impending disaster or in the aftermath.
"When there is a financial need during a natural or human-made disaster, NMCRS staff are there to assist. Our highly trained caseworkers understand the unique needs of our clients, and they provide confidential interest-free loans and grants as well as resources for a steady recovery in the aftermath," stated LtGen Jack Klimp USMC (Ret.) Chief Executive Officer of NMCRS.
Since 2005, NMCRS has provided over $10.6 million in disaster assistance grants and interest-free loans to Sailors and Marines affected by hurricanes, wildfires, tornados, ice storms, floods, and apartment fires.
