Do You Consider Yourself a “World Trade Center Survivor”?
A lot of people who were downtown on September 11th or during the World Trade Center clean-up feel like the terms “9/11 Survivor” or “World Trade Center Survivor” don’t apply to them, but embracing the idea of being a “World Trade Center Survivor” is an important first step to gaining access to the services available to the community that lived through 9/11.
The truth is, the term “World Trade Center Survivor,” as defined in the Zadroga Act, refers to anybody who worked, resided, went to school, or attended daycare or adult daycare downtown on 9/11 or during the WTC clean-up. If you’re reading this post, that could include you!
