FEMA Appeals Clinic
Event Description:
Many survivors don't know that if they feel FEMA did not award them enough assistance, they have the right to appeal—however, the window to appeal is almost up.
The Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) offers low-income wildfire survivors free legal assistance on the road to long-term recovery. Attached, please find flyers for our FEMA Appeals Clinic this Friday, August 26 on Zoom, as well as several other helpful events this month. Please help us reach impacted households by sharing these opportunities with your community, email list, social media, or other channels.
Other disaster legal issues that LAFLA may be able to assist with include:
* Insurance disputes for homeowners and renters
* Renter issues, such as damage and repairs, rent and security deposits, and more
* Applying for other emergency aid and benefits, such as unemployment insurance or student debt relief.
