This article presents an analysis of the tangible, psychological, and general needs of adults and their children reported by residential fire survivors approximately 14 weeks postfire. Three hundred and seven survivors, who identified that they needed help for themselves or their children, differed from 133 survivors who did not request help. Those needing help were more likely to be women with children younger than age 18 living in their household, have low-income status, less education, and to have already received services from church groups. The classification of self-identified needs of fire survivors included the need for specific tangible and social service assistance, psychological and spiritual support, and nonspecific assistance. This classification contributes to our understanding of the relationship between needs and loss, grief, and changes in family and life situations postfire.
