The ABA is teaming up with the Legal Services Corp., the national Legal Aid & Defender Association, and Pro Bono Net on a website to help disaster victims locate legal assistance. National Disaster Legal Aid, at disasterlegalaid.org, is a central resource for legal aid and pro bono lawyers across the country on legal issues related to all types of disasters. The site also helps recruit and mobilize pro bono lawyers in the aftermath of a disaster, and provides information on legal issues related to disasters affecting low- and moderate-income individuals.
