What is a Disaster Case Manager?   

Recovery and rebuilding a life after a disaster can be overwhelming. With so many applications, steps and follow-up, it can be hard to know where to start or who to contact. Disaster Case Managers (DCMs) are trained to help those who need support with their recovery planning and/or lack the resources necessary to recover.  Disaster Case Management is a process in which a trained case manager partners with a survivor to plan and to facilitate a road to recovery and resilience. This process is focused on empowering the survivor to take responsibility for their own recovery while a DCM partners with them to navigate and to obtain the resources required to recover.

We have a team of experienced DCMs that have all worked with survivors from past wildfires in Ventura County. Please email DisasterRelief@icfs.org or call 805-633-0802 to get connected with a DCM.
