This CLE will offer an overview of the federal law related to disasters and a local perspective focused on helping victims of Hurricane Ida. Attorneys from any county with an interest in disaster legal aid are encouraged to attend!

Attorneys serve as second responders in times of disaster and can help disaster survivors recover and navigate their legal issues. Learn how various disaster benefits and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) programs can help your client, how to navigate the disaster cycle, what the new changes in disaster law are, how to draft a compelling FEMA appeal, and more!

CLE fee: $35 Montgomery Bar Association member or $50 non-member. Any attorney who attends the seminar and agrees to take a case through Legal Aid of Southeastern PA, or volunteers at a LASP event, will have their CLE cost refunded! A post-seminar survey with more details will follow the seminar.
