Human Services and Disaster Displacement

There are approximately 1 million new disaster displacements in the United States every year that often leave people with critical human services needs. A webinar was held on February 28, 2023 where speakers from the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, the Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response, and Mathematica presented findings from the report, Human Service Needs and Disaster Displacement. Topics covered included what disaster displacement looks like and who is most affected by it, what the human services needs are for those displaced by disaster, and how human services are delivered to people displaced by disasters.
