Beneficiary Registration and Verification

• Beneficiaries are automatically registered if they appear in the official registry of affected residents.
• The process involves verifying residency and damage status.

Objectives and Importance

• The aid program highlights the government's commitment to helping vulnerable communities recover from natural disasters and rebuild their lives.
• It remains crucial for residents to stay informed about application deadlines and documentation requirements to access these subsidies.
