FEMA Community Relations Officer Rod Handley says the event will offer connections to a laundry list of services:
“There’s benefits in long term housing, education, getting their kids into school, unemployment, job training, medical benefits,
housing, food stamps, immediate need kind of things in addition to long-term.”
