Legal Help After a Disaster: What You Need to Know
Legal aid helps with housing, insurance, FEMA, scams, and more after disasters—supporting recovery from immediate needs to long-term financial issues.
After a disaster, people often face legal problems. Right away, they may need help with housing, insurance, or getting aid from FEMA. They might also need to replace lost papers or stop foreclosure. Later, problems like contractor scams or money troubles can come up. In the long term, some people may need help with taxes, debt, or wills. Legal aid is important at every step to help people recover and rebuild.
