“We are bringing as many resources and organizations together as possible to help impacted residents get the assistance they need,” said Mayor Stephen Dalina. “Our OEM team’s command center, which we set up this week at the Rossmoor clubhouse, has been providing initial guidance to residents. The resource and assistance fair connected residents directly with agencies, organizations and non-profits navigate the longer-term effects from this tropical storm.”
