A phone and contact directory offers phone and website URLs for disaster recovery related Federal Agencies, and a wide variety of support resources.

We can customize the directory to include any agencies or resources you need.  Provide us with the contact information of the agencies and or service providers you want to share with your community, and we can customize the directory for you.  You may wish to include state or county agencies, utility providers, and local relief agencies.

Rear Pocket

The Red Guide Rear Pocket example

Utilize the rear pocket in the back of the guide to hold vouchers, coupons, maps to local assistance centers, or any supplemental information.

Develop an added benefits program with local merchants and vendors and allow them to insert coupons for a free hotel night stay, food and drinks, or discount offers on supplies.  Any additional community support further benefits a survivor, especially the uninsured, on their road to recovery.
