SAMHSA Disaster Distress Helpline

RantWoman notes that one probably wants to have this information filed a couple different ways in case one cannot get to it via one's preferred route during an actual disaster.

When disaster strikes, often people react with increased anxiety, worry and anger. Withsupport from community and family, most of us bounce back. However, “Some may need extra assistance to cope with unfolding events and uncertainties,” said U.S. Substance Abuse andMental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Administrator Pamela S. Hyde, J.D.
 
The Disaster Distress Helpline (DDH) is the first national hotline dedicated to providing year-round disaster crisis counseling. This toll-free, multilingual, crisis support service is available 24/7 via telephone (1-800-985-5990) and SMS (text ‘TalkWithUs’ to 66746) to residents in the U.S. and its territories who are experiencing emotional distress related to natural or man-made disasters.
 
Callers and texters are connected to trained and caring professionals from the closest crisis counseling center in the network. Helpline staff provides counseling and support, includinginformation on common stress reactions and healthy coping, as well as referrals to local disaster-related resources for follow-up care and support.
