Post Tornado Volunteers

Gregg Lombardi - Executive Director

We have had many calls from volunteer lawyers wanting to help with the legal issues for low-income people that will follow in the wake of the Joplin tornado. Right now, Shelly Wakeman is talking with disaster relief experts from other states and we will be updating and circulating a disaster relief manual hopefully by early next week.

We hope to hold a training for volunteer attorneys to help out some time next week. Volunteers will either answer questions by phone from their own offices or go to Joplin, where we hope to be able to set up an information booth at the FEMA site.

If you want to volunteer, please call Latricia Scott Adams our VAP director at (816)474-6750. Thanks.
