Nebraska experiences many incidences of disaster, with the most common types including flooding, severe storms, and tornadoes. Meanwhile, there is a significant gap in free legal services for low-income, disabled, and socially disadvantaged individuals throughout the state, particularly after a disaster strikes. Therefore, Legal Aid of Nebraska recently began a project to create and implement a statewide plan for addressing the legal gap in disaster response and preparedness.
An effective, statewide plan to address the legal needs of victims of disasters necessarily includes gathering information from other service organizations and determining whether there are any possibilities for collaboration.
Please complete this brief survey regarding what types of services your organization offers, your insights on the needs of victims of disasters, and the role your organization might be able to play in this project. The survey will take no more than 5 minutes.
