Disaster Relief

Hurricanes, wildfires and other natural disasters devastate communities and threaten the financial well-being of residents. NCLC works on a range of consumer law issues to help communities deal with the financial devastation of natural disasters while building a network of advocates in affected areas who can share information and learn from one another.
