Identifying legal needs in communities impacted by disasters

Emergency recovery workers are invited to a crucial session exploring the complex legal challenges faced by communities affected by disaster.

Led by Clint Westig from the Federation of Community Legal Centres and Dr Andrew Clarke from Ballarat & Grampians Community Legal Service, this is an opportunity for anyone working in disaster recovery and community support to understand the legal dimensions and support of rebuilding lives.

This session will unpack the legal problems that often arise in the aftermath of disaster and highlight how community legal centres can support those most impacted. Whether you’re on the front line or providing long-term recovery support, this event will give you the knowledge and practical tools to better assist individuals navigating legal systems during times of crisis.
