This memo outlines issues to consider taking action on once people affected by the disaster have immediate food, water, emergency shelter and access to emergency/triage medical and mental health services. The focus is on issues where legal services and community advocates can best contribute: outreach/information, assistance with accessing FEMA programs, public benefits, shorter and longer term housing assistance, education/employment/retraining and policy advocacy.
