ACF plays a significant role in our nation’s human services response to Presidentially declared disasters and public health emergencies. When activated to support a Disaster Human Services Case Management or Repatriation mission, ACF provides assistance to disaster survivors and to partners such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the American Red Cross, and to states, tribes, territories, and ACF programs and grantees.
