  In the wake of October’s historic floods, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is offering legal services at no charge to people who can’t afford a lawyer. FEMA Public Information Officer Carl Henderson says the legal problems people may encounter could vary from disputes with contractors to insurance claim issues and more.

Survivors who have flood-related legal issues and cannot afford a lawyer should call 877-797-2227 ext. 120 OR 803-576-3815 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
