LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Office of Emergency Services is encouraging community members impacted by the Rocky and Jerusalem fires to take advantage of resources that are being offered to assist them.
County officials said they are committed to the recovery for those who had homes or structures burned in the Rocky or Jerusalem fires.
Residents with destroyed or damaged structures from the fires are asked to please call the Fire Help Line at 800-325-9604 and give information for the completion of a damage assessment.
The telephone assessment will be forwarded to the Lake County Recovery Unit to aid in planning of the recovery process.
“I am proud to say that Lake County residents are resilient and we, at the County and Lake County OES, pledge our assistance through this recovery process,” said Lake County Administrative Officer and Director of Emergency Services Matt Perry.
Recovery is a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional effort. The safety of Lake County residents and the environment is top priority.
To that end, Lake County OES and its many partners are focused on the development of a thorough and comprehensive debris removal plan.
To access potential funding sources to aid in the cleanup and debris removal for the Rocky fire, the plan requires Board of Supervisors approval.
The plan currently is scheduled for consideration at the Board of Supervisors' meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
The Fire Help Line is staffed 24/7 thanks to a partnership with the Volunteer Center of Sonoma County, and also provides referrals for services and information about current fire status.
A virtual recovery assistance center is available online at www.LakeCountyLAC.com .
If you do not have Internet access, you may access the Web site from any computer at the Lake County Libraries for free.
