Dear CALBO Community,

The devastating wildfires in Southern California have gripped our attention over the past week. As building professionals, we feel the call to action supporting our communities through these trying times.

To aid in the recovery efforts, CALBO has launched a centralized Wildfire Recovery Hub providing essential resources and real-time updates to help you navigate this crisis.

About the Wildfire Recovery Hub:

• Real-Time Updates:  Stay informed with the latest on fire recovery efforts.
   
• Building Department Resources:  Access tools and guidance tailored to your department’s unique needs.
   
• Relief and Recovery Links:  Explore resources from CAL FIRE, FEMA, Cal OES, and other trusted public organizations.
   
• Certification Support:  Find information on SAP Evaluator and Coordinator programs, including renewals and status updates.
   
• Continuous Updates:  The hub will be regularly refreshed with new information as it becomes available.
   

In these challenging times, we are reminded of the strength, resilience, and compassion that define our profession.  Together, we face this challenge with strength and determination, supporting recovery efforts every step of the way.

Please stay safe, follow evacuation orders, and remember that CALBO is here for you— ready to share resources, skills, and support through the rebuilding efforts.

Stay strong, CALBO Community.
