About this report
After a disaster such as California's wildfires, low-income survivors can face illegal actions by landlords, scammers, and employers, and legal help is essential if they are to stabilize their lives. These Californians disproportionately live in rural areas, where lawyers are scarce.
Part of the Rural Justice Policy Paper Series, this paper explains why legal aid and pro bono help are vital to disaster recovery and calls for the funding and resources legal aid needs to provide wide-ranging help after a disaster.
