Life Cycle of Civil Legal Needs After a Disaster
Legal aid helps survivors with housing, insurance, scams, and recovery after a disaster.
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.
