🌪️ Sept 26 Weather Repor
Humberto may hit Cat 4 but should stay offshore. AL94 (“Imelda”) is the storm to watch. It’s likely to impact the Carolinas early next week as a Cat 1 hurricane with dangerous rain + flooding.
No major wildfire concerns. Stay prepared, stay safe.

Chinese Camp, CA has been devastated by wildfires. Homes and history are gone, and families are struggling to start again.
More than 16,000 lightning strikes sparked dozens of fires across California this week. It’s clear that the damage is real, and the recovery will be long.

20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina left families stranded in water and tore people from their homes. The pain was real, but so was the fight to come back.

REBUILD makes sure leaders like them have what’s needed by moving resources straight to the frontlines. Disasters touch us all, but not everyone gets the same help to recover.

That’s where local leaders step in. Brenda Lopez, Brandon Lamar and Jose Madera of Pasadena Community Job Center are fighting to keep families in their homes and proving that recovery works best when it’s led by the people living through it.

When wildfires tore through Altadena and the Palisades, families lost homes, jobs, and entire neighborhoods overnight. Unfortunately, recovery doesn’t reach everyone and too often, those hit hardest are left behind. 🧵

REBUILD’s support on the ground leads to these moments: Kim, a disaster survivor herself, spoke with a grandmother in #KerrCounty. By the end of the call, she had #FEMA help, mental health support, & community meeting info.
