How Lawyers Are Making a Difference for Disaster Survivors

Watch a non-CLE free webinar replay that will take you through the step-by-step process of what triggers the Disaster Legal Services (DLS) program, how the program is implemented, and what that looks like on the back-end. The speakers will also take a closer look at the current federal restrictions on the DLS program in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss how states can implement their own state-wide COVID-19 hotline. 

After a disaster, emergency responders work around the clock to get things back to normal. For many, this happens in short order. “Ninety-five percent of Houston is open for business” proclaimed Mayor Sylvester Turner a week after the storm. But others face a different reality. “Four months after Hurricane Michael thousands still homeless in Florida” was a recent headline from the Associated Press.
