When disaster strikes, the legal aid agencies are available to help those impacted, Bridget Stewart writes in a guest column for the Tennessean. Stewart, a disaster response attorney at the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee & the Cumberlands, highlights the ways legal aid can help: assisting residents with replacing lost documents, providing guidance on getting homes restored to a livable condition, helping clients understand insurance policies and rental agreements, helping victims apply for FEMA funds and providing education about price gouging and unscrupulous contractors. Those in Middle Tennessee who need assistance should call l800-238-1443 or visit www.las.org/tornado-relief.
