Scott Spotson asked Guy E. Estes:

Given the times of turmoil and danger in Aleena's time, certain towns can be devastated by forces of evil. When a town has been ransacked by ruin, to whom do they turn to help? Is there a state government to pour in relief funds? Or would national insurance companies cover the damage?

Guy E. Estes It would be several things. Aleena's home is the Artisan League, a confederation of provinces united by economics. They're pretty libertarian, but the provinces generally have each others backs and will help however they can. The state would do what it could. Neighboring states could help if they were so inclined, or if they were allies with a formal agreement between them. When Crete was devastated by the tsunami unleashed by the Thera eruption, the Egyptians mounted a relief effort. And then are individuals. Here in Louisiana we have something called the Cajun Navy - when floods and hurricanes hit us, these people - individuals acting entirely on their own, not a formal organization like the Red Cross - get in their bass boats and go to flooded home to do whatever they can. They even went to Texas when Hurricane Harvey hit. So it in the event of natural disasters, invasions, etc., it would be a combination of those, unless the event was so bad most of everything and everyone got wiped out.
