Description:
West Slope Foundation came into existence following the devastating Caldor Fire in August 2021. In the months that followed we became more engaged in helping our community recover. Through this process we have learned a great deal. Now we are sharing the lessons learned to help people be better prepared, while supporting the survivors still in need of help.
Evacuees who fled the flames quickly learned that pre-disaster planning was limited in their communities and that if more on-going education had been available, Caldor Fire preparedness, response, relief and recovery efforts would have been far more effective and efficient. There were some amazing people who stepped forward though to help in the days, weeks and months following the fire. Their tireless efforts eased the suffering, gave survivors hope and met many of the evacuee's basis needs.
Responding to disasters without a coordinated plan is not the way it should be done though. West Slope Foundation is working hard to ensure better results when the next disaster strikes. Our disaster focused programs are designed to rectify this lack of pre-planning and education and will improve future outcomes for our community - our neighbors.
