NC is committed to equipping all Californians - including elderly, Spanish speakers, farmworkers, and low-income residents - with the resources, knowledge and materials they need to protect themselves from the adverse impacts of wildfires and other disasters. During this wildfire season, our organization is distributing air purifiers, emergency materials including N95 masks to protect from wildfire smoke, and emergency kits and bilingual disaster guides in case residents need to evacuate.
During disasters, local supply chains are often strained, which can cause delays in delivering essential supplies to community members. We will allocate a large portion of funding towards purchasing K and N95 masks to disseminate for smoke safety. We will also use funding to purchase gift cards to offer to low-income community members who wish to buy gas or groceries following a wildfire or Public Safety Power Shutoffs.
In order to reach our goal of rapid and planned disaster response for all, we will allocate a large portion of funding to purchase N95 masks to disseminate for smoke safety. We will also use funds to purchase gift cards to provide to affected and low-income community members who wish to buy gas or groceries following a wildfire or Public Safety Power Shutoffs.
The project will provide over 250 families with critical supplies and resources to survive and recover from a disaster.
