The following guide is meant as a starting point for those individuals who have been affected by the wildfires that swpet through Southern California. We owe thanks to Morrison & Forester, who complied the information. A complete version of their "Helping Handbook for the 2007 Southern California Wildfires" can be found at their website.

While the information is quite comprehensive, it should not be taken for professional legal advice, and instead serve as a point of reference in trying to rebuild from this disaster. If you need help in dealing with a governement agency, please refer to our Case Work Assistance portion of the website.
