DISASTER RESPONSE

Catholic Charities of Shreveport is on the front line to help individuals displaced
by disasters. Our services are oriented to cover the basic needs of those affected
by weather related and other disasters with both immediate needs and the long
term needs of those affected. Our goal is to help survivors get back to where they
were before the disaster struck.

We recognize every situation is different, so we assess each person’s need individually
to see if we can be of assistance, as well as explore with them other possible local
resources that might help them. We help to prioritize needs, and identify action steps
to work towards stabilizing a crisis and moving towards self-sufficiency
