Emergency aid is granted to families or individuals who are in situations of need due to natural disasters, fires, accidents, the burial of persons without legal supporters, as well as other special situations established by law.

The emergency aid (depending on the situation) is granted in cash based on the Mayor's Order for granting emergency aid, which is based on the written request of a family member or single person, as well as the social inquiry carried out by the staff of the Social Benefits Office within the Dorohoi Social Assistance Directorate, through which the situations of need or, as appropriate, the special situations in which the families or single persons are, are certified.

The funds necessary for the payment of emergency aid are covered from local budgets.
