LTRCs are responsible for assessing and vetting the unmet needs of individuals and families in recovery counties. This assessment is typically completed through a disaster case management process for families in need. After LTRCs recognize and confirm unmet needs, the recovery committee can submit funding requests to the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund.
