  Norma, Pam, and all of our Federation Family in the path of Harvey:

   

  I wanted to alert you to an important  resource being offered by the American Bar Association.  After Harvey passes, countless thousands of disaster survivers will face legal issues and some of those will undoubtedly  be blind or otherwise disabled.  .  The ABA has created a web page where you can find relevant information about legal help.

   

  www.ambar.org/harvey

   

  There you will learn how to contact state and local bars about receiving legal assistance.  For example, there is a link to Disability Rights of Texas who will be helping persons with disabilities with disaster related  matters.  The website will be constantly updated.  So check back for more information.  I am also happy to report that the ABA has made it a priority to make the information presented accessible.

   

  Thanks,

  Scott LaBarre
