The Environmental and Land Use Law Section (ELULS) has scheduled an all-day seminar covering the law of disaster recovery for June 10, 2005 at the Orlando Airport Hyatt.

     Called “I’ve Seen Fire and I’ve Seen Rain,” the seminar features speakers from throughout Florida who are thoroughly experienced in the problems of delivering and coordinating disaster aid. The roles of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the Florida Department of Community Affairs Emergency Operations Division will be explained. Local government and private aid agencies will also present at the seminar.

     Although the seminar is geared to lawyers, governmental officials and business interests will also gain valuable knowledge. The seminar is designed to feature practical ways to gain aid quickly for public and private clients, and to protect the public health and safety during clean-up.

     The ethics session will explore how lawyers can provide service to the community when there’s no power.
