“The type of catastrophe relief you’re looking at with a natural disaster doesn’t just involve one area of the law,” says Steely. “You have environmental issues, you have tax issues, you have licenses and waivers… When the pieces of your life or your business have fallen apart, that most important thing is that you just get help from people who can steer you in the right direction.”
