Did you know that this month is American Red Cross Month?⛑️ It's important to recognize the vital role that the organization plays in supporting communities across the country. One of the most critical areas of focus for the Red Cross is home fire prevention and relief. Every year, thousands of families are impacted by devastating home fires, and the Red Cross is there to provide support and assistance in the aftermath. As one of their Safety Campaigns, the Red Cross works to educate families on fire safety and prevention. In addition, they offer resources and support to help families get back on their feet after a fire, including temporary shelter, food, and clothing. This month, let’s take a moment to recognize the incredible work that the American Red Cross does to keep our communities safe. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word about their important mission, we can all play a role to help make a difference! #americanredcrossmonth #americanredcross #providingaide #safetyfirst #firesafetyeducation #fireprevention #firerelief #jackwardfireconsultants #originandcausefireinvestiation #fireinvestigation

In the wake of hurricanes Helene and Milton, we at The Montalvo Corporation are deeply committed to supporting our valued customers and communities affected by these devastating storms. We believe the best way forward is together, which is why we are announcing an assistance plan specifically for businesses impacted by the recent hurricanes. Here's how we will help: • Extended Terms / Adjusted Pricing for impacted businesses to ease financial burdens during recovery. • Making a donation to local charities that support ongoing relief efforts and contribute to rebuilding and revitalizing our communities.

🚨 URGENT: A Crisis in Our Community 🚨 💦It’s our time to show we care 💦https://lnkd.in/g4vtqKrz As temperatures soar and the summer heat continues to beat down on Las Vegas, we are faced with a sobering reality: many of our fellow residents are struggling to access something as basic and vital as clean drinking water. This crisis affects our homeless community the most, leaving them vulnerable to dehydration, heatstroke, and worse. But we can make a difference. Together, we can bring relief to those in need. We have just 4 days left until the end of the month to make a significant impact. Cragin & Pike is spearheading a donation drive to collect bottled water for those who need it most. Your generosity can provide life-saving hydration to our most vulnerable neighbors. 🌟 How You Can Help: 💦 - "WATER WORLD TEAM" 💦 Monetary Donations: https://lnkd.in/g4vtqKrz Spread the Word: Share this post with your friends, family, and social networks.

60% of goods donated during disasters end up in landfills. Don’t do a random product drive. You can’t control what people will drop off. It often costs more to deliver / ship things to where it is needed. Don’t donate things that aren’t asked for.

It is a critical time to address the impact of high heat on individuals, families and communities across the state, particularly for those struggling financially to address and adapt to the record-breaking temperatures. Wildfire is here to help. Governor Hobbs' order also directed state agencies to develop a comprehensive heat plan by March 2024 and advocate for more federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding. As a community action agency that connects low-income households with resources, Wildfire will do everything we can to support Governor Hobbs bringing more LIHEAP money into the state. "The program was initially designed to help cold-weather communities keep residents heated in the winter, but it has evolved to become an important resource for air conditioning assistance in hot summers, said Wildfire Executive Director, Kelly McGowan. Wildfire will match community donations up to $500,000 in donations to repair and replace HVAC units for qualifying low-income individuals at no cost to them -- bringing the total raise to $1,000,000. The more we are able to raise in donations, the greater the impact we can make.

EM community! Let me tell you about an amazing VOAD called Project:Camp. They set up pop-up, trauma-informed day camps for children in areas that have been affected by disaster. They are currently on the ground in New Mexico setting up one such camp in response to the wildfires. Unlike most NGOs, they put children's care and well-being at the forefront of response. I love their mission and happy to be getting more involved. If you like their mission too and, as an EM professional, can see they may be able to aid your communities post disaster, I have a few asks: 1) Please like/share this post to boost their visibility 2) Please reach out if you are or know of the right POC in your community to begin building a relationship before disaster strikes. 3) Please consider donating
