Bilingual Support for FEMA Disaster-Assistance Programs
After a disaster, many of the people applying for help speak Spanish as their primary language. Disaster-assistance programs, and the prime contractors that support them, need people who can communicate clearly with those applicants and document what they say accurately.
Language Access in Disaster Assistance
Supports meaningful access for people with limited English proficiency in programs covered by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. In practice, disaster-assistance programs need Spanish-English support at several points:
- Applicant intake and registration by phone
- Housing-assistance intake
- Collecting program paperwork in Spanish or English
- Notarizing documents applicants are asked to have notarized
- Field inspection and documentation
