Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands has launched a new disaster preparedness website to help residents better prepare for disasters. Executive Director DarKenya W. Waller tells the Smith County Insider that the site is designed to help speed up the process of recovery by educating people how to prepare and safely store essential paperwork — such as advance care plans, powers of attorney, titles, deeds of property, citizenship verification, contracts and agreements — before disaster strikes. The site also includes advice on developing a disaster plan and a checklist of emergency supplies to have on hand.
