Support our Members Affected by Los Angeles Fires

ASSP Region I Members,

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well. It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today regarding the devastating fires currently affecting Los Angeles and its surrounding communities. As safety professionals, we understand the profound impact disasters like these have on individuals, families, and the infrastructure that binds our communities together.

The fires have caused significant destruction, displacing countless families, damaging homes and businesses, and overwhelming emergency services. The road to recovery will be long and challenging, but my hope that together as a Region, we can make a meaningful difference and support our Chapter members in the area.

I have reached out to all leaders in Southern California for support, and will work with them if there are any specific needs that our ASSP members have. In the interim, the American Red Cross is actively providing shelter, food, and emergency assistance to those impacted. If you have the resources to donate, no matter the size, you can help provide immediate relief and long-term recovery for those affected. Donations can be made directly through their website at www.redcross.org.

In addition to financial contributions, please take the time to check on your colleagues, neighbors, and community members. Small gestures of kindness and support can go a long way during difficult times.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Thank you and Be Safe.
