Each regional office is staffed with a team of disaster case managers, according to an announcement from the Office of Resilience. Disaster case management is a process involving a partnership between a case manager and a survivor in a situation where disaster caused unmet needs.

Both the survivor and case manager work to develop an individualized recovery plan addressing unmet needs, whether physical, financial or emotional, by connecting citizens to a variety of resources, the announcement said. In addition to working with resources from non-profit and other sources, case managers also conduct intake for the office’s state and federally funded housing recovery programs, which focus on the repair and replacement of homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Helene. More information about these programs can be found at scor.sc.gov/helene.

In addition to working with impacted individuals in these new physical offices, disaster case managers also conduct mobile intake events across their respective regions. At mobile intakes, citizens may drop in without an appointment to meet with case managers to discuss their needs and connect them with community disaster recovery resources. Mobile intakes currently scheduled can be found at scor.sc.gov/public-engagement, with more to be added soon, the announcement said.
