Natural Disasters



A natural disaster occurs when a catastrophic event, such as a hurricane, a flood, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a landslide, a blizzard, or some other natural phenomena causes extensive human casualties, property damage, or both. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), plans for, responds to, and assists with the recovery from both natural and manmade disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina and 9/11.

I am disabled with no income and being im a veteran my attorney says goto VA to be seen, and I told him that if they even do see me, it may take three to six months minimum to even see a doctor. I''ve already seen a Neurologist, Pain Specialist and Ortho Chiropractor and all say Im Disabled, but my attorney doesn''t accept Ortho Chiropractor as reliable doctor even tho I have seen him for years and he has a Neuro background also. I feel that my attorney is not taking my claim serious or with heart because I received out of months only one call from him and thats after I wrote an E-mail to him regarding his lack of communication.
