Dear Members:

On behalf of the Louisiana State Bar Association, I hope that you are able to remain safe and secure during this hurricane season. The LSBA remains dedicated to aiding our members throughout natural disasters and their often devastating aftermath.

During emergencies, the LSBA disaster response website, www.LSBA.org/dr, will serve as a single source for information on court closings, announcements, and emergency contact information. Additionally, we've made available online the LSBA Disaster Planning Handbook, which includes practical information on emergency response and the recovery process, as well as how to prepare your law practice for emergencies in the future. You can find a copy of the handbook at www.lsba.org/GoTo/DisasterHandbook.

It is especially important to pull together as a legal community during crises. The LSBA will continue to do our best to aid you during times of misfortune and recovery.

Sincerely,

John H. Musser IV
President
