A faith-based organization partnering with local communities and survivors to deliver compassionate disaster case management after the storm.

After the Storm is a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization launched by the Michigan Conference of The United Methodist Church in 2022. We launched in response to a flood in Detroit and Southeast Michigan. That same year, we also responded to a tornado in Gaylord, working with more than 100 families to rebuild and recover.

The Conference quickly became the expert in long-term disaster response and recovery in Michigan, trusted by federal, state, and local partners. We felt the best way to sustain this expertise was to form an independent organization. We work with people and organizations of any religious persuasion and all donations are tax deductible.

Before that, the Michigan Conference had assisted with long-term disaster recovery projects from Houghton/Hancock to the Great Lakes Bay region, including recovery from a major dam breach in Midland.

When disaster strikes, it hits the whole community. But hope rebuilds one family at a time through personalized planning and care. Find out what’s possible, After the Storm.

The storm hits everyone differently. There’s no one-size fits all solution. That’s why our disaster case managers work with each household to help you rebuild. You set the goals. We help you get there. Some of our services include finding food and shelter, identifying grants and loans for home rebuilds, and managing home repairs. We can even help you find trauma and wellness care, and help your family identify needed supports after a major injury.
