Dealing with Disaster The May 2010 floods in West and Middle Tennessee caused massive devastation to many families and residents. The resiliency of Tennesseans is amazing and evident in every neighborhood. However, it is important to realize that recovery takes time and sometimes we need help rebuilding our property and also our lives. Disaster can awaken a wide range of feelings and reactions in individuals and the community. It is important to know that these are normal and that there are people willing to help. That’s where the TN Recovery CCP program comes in. Purpose The TN Recovery Project provides free counseling and resource referrals for victims of the May 1 & 2 Floods and Tornados. The TN Recovery Project is a part of the FEMA disaster recovery code DR 1909 TN. Common Reactions: • Trouble with sleep or appetite, headaches • Increased anger or irritability • Feeling overwhelmed and unable to concentrate • Feeling numb • Hard to make decisions • Always being worried, nervous or on alert • Re-experiencing the storm events • Feelings of guilt of self-doubt • Frustration and feeling powerless • Crying, feeling sad, and having low energy • Disappointment or rejection of outside help What You Can Do: • Ask for and accept help from others • Take “time off” from worries and home repairs – go to the movies, eat out, do something you enjoy • Talk to others about your feelings and experiences • Find the positive aspects of the event – neighbors helping each other, community spirit, etc. • Don’t use alcohol or drugs to cope with stress • Take time to eat right, drink water and exercise • Don’t take anger and frustration out on others • Listen to your children – let them express their feelings • Give family members and friends a hug – touching can be healing • Reassure your child that you are safe now • Make a family emergency plan – call the local Red Cross for information Where to Go for Help!
