Wildfire Recovery Resources from Kansas Legal Services

As wildfires continue to affect communities across Southwest Kansas, Kansas Legal Services (KLS) wants residents to know that free legal assistance is available for those impacted. Disasters often create unexpected legal challenges, including replacing important documents that may have been lost, addressing insurance claim issues, resolving landlord-tenant concerns, navigating FEMA or other disaster assistance applications, avoiding contractor fraud, and handling employment-related questions that arise after displacement.

Kansas Legal Services is prepared to assist eligible individuals at no cost and encourages anyone affected by the wildfires to reach out for help. Our team understands that recovery can feel overwhelming, and we are here to provide clear guidance and support during this difficult time.

Individuals seeking assistance can contact Kansas Legal Services at   316-267-3975 or visit kansaslegalservices.org. For immediate assistance contact Kelli Breer, breerk@klsinc.org.

Individuals may also seek assistance through federal and community resources such as FEMA, American Red Cross and Disaster Distress Helpline.
