Every person involved in a disaster has their own story.

Often these stories can help to paint a picture of what it is like, and this in turn helps others to find solutions for their own issues.

Take a look through the links on the right and read some of the stories we have collected. If you wish you can comment on them in the discussion forum.

We have a number of stories already posted here, and are looking for more. It doesn't matter if it is a small snippet, or your life since a disaster, please send them in to us.

Your name can be published or withheld - as can any identifying facts.

Stories from people involved will appear here over the next few weeks.
