Natural disasters—including hurricanes, severe storms, and floods—can create sudden, critical barriers to safety, mobility, health, and independence.
Through United Spinal’s Ready to Roll Program, the United Spinal Association of Georgia connects Georgians with spinal cord injuries, spinal cord disorders, and mobility disabilities to disaster relief assistance and disability-inclusive preparedness resources.
If you have been affected by a natural disaster, financial assistance may be available to help you recover, regain stability, and maintain your independence.

- Are a Georgia resident
