Lake County >> Team Lake County (TLC), Lake County’s officially recognized Long Term Recovery Group, formed to meet the unmet needs of the fire survivors in our community, has requested the services of World Renew, a national disaster recovery group, to determine the full scope of the remaining rebuild and assistance needs of our community following the 2015 fires.
A team of World Renew volunteers will conduct one-on-one interviews with fire survivors this month. The assessment process will help to prioritize individual needs and connect survivors with TLC for long-term recovery support through detailed, individual case management to identify and meet financial, construction, health, spiritual and emotional needs as yet unmet.
Fire Survivors who have found they still have needs after having gone through the registration processes with their insurance company, FEMA and the State are encouraged to meet with this team at the following locations and dates:
Middletown Community Meeting Room (between the Senior Center and the Middletown
Library), 21256 Washington Street, Middletown, CA 95461
Jan. 20 through 26
Jan. 29 through Feb. 5
9 a.m.-6 p.m.
Teams will be visiting with:
Residents staying at Konocti Harbor Inn Jan. 27, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
Mobile Home Parks hosting FEMA MHU’s in Clearlake and Clearlake Oaks Jan. 28 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
Interviews will be conducted by a team of trained World Renew volunteers. All information will be kept confidential and used to assist designated case managers to help residents connect with available resources. Interview questions will be straightforward and should not require residents to supply any paperwork. If fire survivors do have a FEMA number, they are asked to bring that with them to the interview. Spanish language interpreters or other special needs will be available as needed or requested.
The assessment information will help to determine a detailed estimate of the total cost of securing a comprehensive, long-term recovery for Lake County (including cost to rebuild homes, replace lost items, etc.). TLC will then be developing a disaster recovery plan, which takes into account available fire relief funds, designed to assist in the development of programs to target the most significant needs through a vast network of local and national partners active in disaster recovery.
TLC is accepting donations now to assist in the long term recovery process for Lake County.
