Consumer Information for Hurricane Katrina Victims

The Federal Trade Commission  has translated into Spanish much of the information on its hurricane assistance Web site at:

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/events/katrina/index.html.

The materials in Spanish can be found via this link -

Because many victims in affected areas do not have Web access at this time, FTC also is working with many organizations to coordinate delivery to hurricane victims of printed materials containing helpful information.

The FTC's hurricane assistance site covers a broad range of potential concerns including: Advanced Fee Loan Scams; Appliances; Auto Repair; Charity Scams; Contractor Scams; Credit and Money; Damaged or Lost Documents; Debris Removal Scams; Door-To-Door Sale (Cooling Off Rule); Fake Disaster Officials; Foundation, Excavation, or Waterproofing Work; Home Ownership Issues; Home Repair Scams; Job Scams; Money And Credit; Pest Control; Rental Listing Scams; Utility Related Scams; and Water Treatment or Purification Devices.
