From Supv. Antonovich's office.  Some of this information has appeared earlier, but here it is in on place:

Initiated by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, C.A.R.E. is a multi-agency program to protect life and property in the upcoming rainy months.  This program will include regular updates and bulletins, technical assistance for residents on constructing mudslide diversions, a “one-stop” website with fire recovery and storm preparation information, public service announcements, and a speakers bureau for community meetings.

The website http://www.dpwcare.org provides the following vital information:

·             Assistance Programs
·             Safety Preparedness
·             Development/Rebuilding
·             Current conditions
·             Emergency shelter locations

The toll free number (800) 214-4020 is available to residents offering free engineering advice for homeowners affected by the fires and concerned about erosion, mud-flows, and related issues.
