Lone Star Legal Aid recognizes September as National Preparedness Month. The campaign promotes family and community disaster and emergency planning now and throughout the year. This year’s theme is “Prepared, Not scared.”
Homeowners, families, and communities can use this opportunity to find ways or help others understand more about preparing for disasters and reducing risks to health and the environment.
This year, Lone Star Legal Aid will provide information on preparing your home, checking your flood risk, safeguarding important documents, what to do if you are disabled, and how to handle shotty contractors.
