Storm damage repairs can attract scammers along with legitimate contractors.

In the latest episode of What a Disaster, our disaster attorneys break down the red flags of contractor fraud, from out-of-state "storm chasers" to high-pressure sales tactics, and what every contract should include before you sign.

It's free to listen, and free legal help may be available for eligible Oklahomans.

In Oklahoma, disasters aren't a matter of if. They're a matter of when.⁣
⁣
In the newest episode of What a Disaster, our disaster recovery team talks about what every household can do before a storm, fire, or flood hits. You'll hear how to build a family plan for the whole house, where to store important documents so they survive fire and water, and why estate planning (wills, powers of attorney, transfer-on-death deeds), is one of the most overlooked ways to prepare.⁣
