Resources for Disaster Relief Volunteer Attorneys

The South Carolina Bar’s Pro Bono Program and Young Lawyers Division collaborate with various state and local organizations to provide legal assistance to disaster survivors.

Below are resources for attorney volunteers including videos, downloadable guides, handy websites and webinars covering legal issues that most often arise after a hurricane or natural disaster. We will continue to update this list as new tools become available.

Many of the resources included are tools created by legal services organizations in North Carolina, Texas and Florida in response to previous natural disasters. We thank these organizations for their partnership and assistance.
