In a natural disaster the emergency services go into reaction mode.  The current system has local government taking the key role.  Every service is suppose to have a disaster plan.  When a disaster happens, a lot of agencies start moving because no one has the resources to handle a large scale disaster.\n\nAs far as the federal government, they really don't have a large role, they are mainly check writers.  They come in and ask what you need then send someone out to buy it.  Most of the actual aid will come from local, state, national guard, and near by states.\n\nAfter Katrina though this might change.  What happened in New Orleans was the local government got overwhelmed and the rest pretty much is history now, notice you didn't hear much out of Boluxi who got hit by the stronger part of the storm.  Plus some of the check writing turned out to be huge waste of money.\n\nBut your local government (City, county and state) should have a plan for any feasible disaster that might hit their area and should be practicing it.  I am a paramedic now and in our drills we will go so far as to drop trees across the roads to test how quickly we can clear them or get around them.

Well, the Section 8 that I'm familiar with is government housing assistance. So, I'd start by  Googling HUD (Housing & Urban Development). You can contact the state's Chamber of Commerce, or a municipality's chamber of commerce. You can also look up a state senator or assemblyman there and ask someone in their office for logistical help.

You can contact your city public works department.  They will have a map.  Sometimes, one address can be in a flood zone while the address next door to you or across the street is in a different flood zone.

In Ohio it is called the Human Resources Office-food stamps,medical card-job training.They have other resource also to help with a deposit on a place-heat bills-school clothes-babysitting etc....check around and see if you can find it. In the "Old days" it was called the Welfare office. Everyone gets down at some point in there lives and just needs a hand to get back up.\nKnow how I know all this??? My dad got laid off and the plant my mom worked at burnt down -they had us 3 kids to feed and take care of so my Mom finallly went up to the welfare dept for food stamps and help with our rent and while she was in there she found out they needed a secretary which was what she was at the factory so she applied for the job-got food stamps and rent that day and started working there a couple weeks later. She was a supervisor when she retired and told lots of people that story when they got embarrassed about asking for help-it made them feel bettter to know that she really did know how they felt!

it's all about federal money.  the feds are giving your city money for taking in victims of hurricane Katrina.\n\nAlthough your city does get money from the federal government for the homeless, it isn't anywhere near the amount of funds for the Katrina victims.

This is only one of A THOUSAND different stupid ways the government spends your money.\n1) Don't give the gov't anymore money.\n2) If you care about the homeless, you have to take direct action, you can't trust in the gov't to help on any problem. Ask the people of New Orleans.\n3) If you care about any other issue, you have to run for office yourself. The only way we'll have people we can trust in gov't- is if we start taking those offices ourselves.

Contact the agency you are interested in directly.\nPerhaps you should consider contacting homeland since they now are the umbrella,or on line Federal Gov.org look for specific employee section though I imagine this as I said would best be done directly.
