Navigation YLD needs volunteers to assist those affected by Hurricane Idalia
With Hurricane Idalia bearing down on Florida’s Gulf Coast, widespread property damage and displacement is expected. Once the storm passes, residents will face a bevy of legal questions without a lot of answers.
The Young Lawyers Division has opened its Disaster Legal Services Hotline, which answers legal questions for hurricane victims on a pro-bono basis, in conjunction with the ABA’s Young Lawyers Section and FEMA.
YLD President Anisha Patel says there is an urgent need for more volunteers to provide simple advice about how those impacted by the storm can get their lives back in order.
