SOUTHERN OREGON FIRES
MANY ARE IN NEED, MANY WANT TO HELP
hen fires ripped through Southern Oregon communities and woodlands, resulting in untold loss and devastation, organizations and indi-
Wviduals immediately reached out to help. The need is great and will be for a long time. Below are some resources if you need help or if you
wish to offer help. This list is but a sampling of what is available. Needs and resources will change as recovery progresses. For more opportunities,
ask your friends and neighbors, check with local media, do some online research.
**The old Central Medford High School building has become a Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) for those displaced by the Almeda
and Obenchain fires. Representatives from FEMA, local insurance agencies, local government, and the Red Cross will be onsite to help walk
people through the fire relief assistance process.
