Did you know that after a disaster, legal problems can be just as serious as the storm itself? After hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, or other severe weather, survivors often face a second disaster – dealing with legal issues. These problems can be long-lasting and hard to manage without help.

FEMA Rental Assistance is available to eligible Louisiana renters and homeowners who cannot live in their homes because of damage caused by Tropical Storm Arthur from June 17-24. It’s important to spend money you receive only on approved rental costs and to save all receipts.

Acadiana Legal Service Corporation partners with many resources across Louisiana to provide you with the most current legal education available. We offer a wide range of topics to help you find the legal information you need. Browse our brochures and connect with our partners for more legal topics to help you understand if you have a civil legal issue and whether you want to pursue legal action as a self-represented litigant (SRL) or hire an attorney. All legal resources, including articles and court forms, available on our website can help you better understand and advocate for your rights. However, these resources should not replace legal advice from qualified attorneys licensed in Louisiana who are familiar with your specific legal issue. Always seek legal advice directly from a lawyer.
