MOUNTAIN FIRE UPDATE

Dear Neighbors,

After the devastating loss of more than 200 homes in our community, I am reaching out to provide an update on the support available to help community members get through this challenging time.

Our district has been profoundly impacted, but I want you to know that you are not alone. We have a dedicated network of agencies and community partners working tirelessly to respond to this crisis, offering resources, guidance, and assistance to those in need.

In this newsletter, you’ll find information on upcoming meetings, recovery resources, and ways we can come together to support one another as we begin to recover. Please reach out to my office if we can be of support in any way.

Sincerely,

Jeff

Supervisor Jeff Gorell, District 2
