After Air Crash Information

There are numerous sources of assistance to victims’ families following an aircraft accident. For smaller accidents and for those that occur outside the U.S., available assistance may be more limited.

Major air disasters in the U.S. typically involve numerous governmental agencies and a multifaceted interplay of state, federal, and occasionally international law. Under the Family Assistance Act , certain requirements must be followed by airlines, and include:

* Arranging for grief counseling and family support services
* Providing caregivers for each family
* Working to identify victims and to return remains and possessions to families
* Setting up a communications network with survivors and victims’ relatives
