SUMMARY: HERS is a nonprofit composed of attorneys who support public recovery after natural disasters, notably in areas affected by tornadoes such as Moss Point on the coast. The organization hosted a clinic directed by Caroline Newman from New Orleans, focusing on resilience and recovery. They provide legal help to those navigating FEMA claims and appeals, often assisting people whose applications were initially denied. HERS operates in disaster zones and does so consistently, without abandoning the people after the immediate crisis, returning later for continued support. They provide much-needed legal advice and clarification in the complicated aftermath of disasters, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and self-advocacy for victims.

Joining us now to discuss the upcoming clinic is Director of Resilience and Recovery, Caroline Newman.
