UPDATE OCTOBER 12, 2017 2PM FROM SENATOR SCOTT WIENER

We’re all stunned by the catastrophe in the North Bay. Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Yuba, Solano, and other counties are in desperate condition. People are dying, people are missing, and thousands of homes have been obliterated. Our brave firefighters and first responders are doing everything they can to attack the fires and save lives and property. We need to stand up and help our neighbors in need, and I have an easy way you can do so. Between now and Tuesday, if you drop off bags or boxes of non-perishable food that is “ready to eat” and doesn’t require cooking, my staff and I will get that food to the North Bay – specifically, to the Redwood Empire Food Bank in Sonoma County. This food bank badly needs food donations and also financial donations so that it can continue to deliver food to evacuation centers. You can drop off food at any of the locations listed below at the end of this message through Tuesday, and my office will retrieve them. On Wednesday, my staff and I will bring the food up to Sonoma County. Thank you to Chariot and the Teamsters for driving us and the food and helping us get this done. Thanks as well to the community and labor organizations that are stepping up to receive these food donations at their facilities. You can also bring bags of food to my district office (455 Golden Gate Suite 14800) during business hours. These are desperate times in the North Bay, and once the fires are finally extinguished, we will have much work to do helping our neighbors recover. For now, as our firefighters and first responders do their life-saving work, we need to do our part. I hope you can help. Thank you so much in advance, and if you would like to spread the word, please direct people HERE. -Scott   P.S.

From Janel Christenson:

This came from a someone who was a victim of the 1991 fire: “I’m reading up on the devastation of the Napa and Sonoma county fires. This is now the worst fire in the history of Northern California. Formerly the #1 (now comes 2nd) is the Oakland Hills fire in 1991. Unbeknownst to many except a few friends in my circle I, along with my 3 other UC Berkeley roommates, were victims of that 1991 fire when our apartment in the Northside near the Caldecott Tunnel burned down. Reading this made me remember what I did back then to help fire victims such as myself. If you know anyone affected by the fire please advise them to:

(1) Contact their insurance companies. Most will cover hotel stays, apart from the usual coverage.

(2) Call their credit card companies and have the last 3-6 months of their purchases reimbursed back (get a police report that testifies you are a fire victim).

(3) If you are renting and are a minor, your parents’ home insurance may cover your belongings (this is how I got my stuff reimbursed through my parent’s home insurance even if they lived 300 miles away at that time).
(4) Call your chain retail stores and see what they can offer to fire victims (I remember GAP gave away free clothes to fire victims up to $500 per person…yes my roommates and I were like walking GAP ads bed literally that was all the clothes we had). (5) Get as many resources and information as you can and keep passing the info around. You will see the kindness of strangers and the familial treatment of friends.
My prayers to anyone you know affected by this devastation.”

UPDATE OCTOBER 13 11AM

MORTGAGE INFO

If you are a homeowner that has been affected by the devastation of the recent fires I know the last thing you want to think about are you monthly mortgage payments. Please know that there are Disaster Relief Programs available that can assist you by possibly freezing or deferring your payments for several months (each servicer varies) while you get back on your feet. Attached is a list of Servicers and phone numbers to call, I realize you probably don’t have a mortgage statement handy with your account number but it can easily be accessed using your social security number. Let the representative know that you have been affected by the disaster and need immediate assistance and they should be able to help. If you have any questions at all, please call me at 877-305-1300. I would be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
