If a Soror experiences damage, displacement, or injury due to a disaster, they can apply for emergency funds through the DREF application. After completion, the Chapter President must sign and recommend or decline payment. The form is then sent to DREF via fax, email, or mail. The DREF office will secure additional signatures, and once approved, a check for $250 (individuals) or $500 (families) will be issued.
