Superstorm Sandy Legal Relief Efforts

Six months after Superstorm Sandy hit New York, many residents are now facing longer term questions: How do I get the insurance company to pay for repairs? What funding sources are available to restart my business?

Your help is critical. In the NYC Pro Bono Center, we've assembled training videos, manuals, and resources to help you prepare. Become a member today, and use your professional skills to help some fellow New Yorkers in need.

Use our new FEMA Appeals automated document template to prepare a response letter to a denial of benefits by FEMA.

Check out the recently recorded webinar,"Guide to Successful Resolution of Residential Claims Resulting from Superstorm Sandy" in the NYC Pro Bono Center Library.
