In response to the Valley Fire that erupted near The Geysers Geothermal field in Lake County on Saturday afternoon, American Red Cross local disaster workers have opened two shelters in the area.

The shelters are providing immediate needs of those affected, including a safe place to stay, food (dinner, snacks), water, medicines and health services, cleaning supplies, emotional support and other support resources. Impacted residents are welcome to stop by during the day even if they choose to spend the night elsewhere.

“Firefighters are doing heroic work in trying to contain the fire and keep residents safe, and it’s our honor to support them in every way possible” said Jeff Baumgartner, Executive Director of the American Red Cross of the California Northwest. “We are working closely with the county officials to make sure all sheltering needs are met, and are prepared to scale up our support if needed.”

A donation to Red Cross Disaster Relief can help provide shelter for someone who has had to leave their home and food and water for them to eat.
