Have you ever lost a home to fire?

Hoping first that there was no loss of life, I’m asking how you got it back together. I don’t mean temporary shelters and food and access to services. I mean how did you get hold of all the papers you needed, how did you recover personal identification, deeds, records of bills paid, tax records, and all that?

Was it a struggle with every single bank and agency and government office, or was there any kind of systematic help and an inclusive checklist?

What will the people of Greenville, California, do? Is there help available on a citywide scale when a whole town is lost?

There’s going to be a lot more of this. I’d like to know if there’s an overall plan or if it is all ad hoc and people are mostly left on their own to figure it out.
