Safe Haven Extended for Navy Katrina Victims

Dependents of Navy personnel who were affected by Hurricane Katrina have been approved for extensions of their “Safe Haven” benefits and 100 percent per diem allowances, previously slated to expire April 17. Assistance with any issues resulting from hurricane devastation is available through the Community Support Centers (CSC) located throughout the areas affected by the 2005 hurricane season. Case managers from the CSC are available to assist any member of the Navy family, which includes military members, Navy civilians, retirees, and dependents. Additional information on the assistance available, along with extension request forms, can be found on the Navy Family Disaster Assistance Web site at www.navy.mil/tfnf.html or via the 24-hour Hurricane relief helpline at (877) 414-5358.
