As the one year anniversary of the terrible fires in Sonoma County passed, I was thinking it was probably time to unpin the post about ways to donate toward rebuilding the affected communities. And then the sky was full of smoke again. What now?! The town of Paradise. Gone. A new most destructive fire for the state of California, the (really? who names these things) Camp Fire. It’s not a record your area wants to have, but at the same time you don’t really want it broken either.
as of 7:20 PM 11/15/18, up to 141,000 acres. Over 600 people reported missing.
I’m not familiar with the area, and don’t directly know anyone who lived in Paradise, but this seems like a good general resource, and a rando friend’s mother and sister have GoFundMe pages, as well as a taiko friend’s cousin (who also turns out to be a cyclist.)
