Original Problem

Disaster victims struggle to navigate complex disaster assistance applications after flooding

Residents affected by natural disasters like flooding face overwhelming bureaucratic processes to access emergency financial aid they desperately need for immediate recovery. Current disaster assistance application systems are fragmented, confusing, and time-consuming, forcing vulnerable people to spend critical recovery time deciphering eligibility requirements and paperwork instead of rebuilding their lives and homes.
