California Disasters
Every year Californians face the devastating affects of brush fires. But along with natural disasters like brush fires and earthquakes, California may also encounter man-made disasters both on land and in the ocean waters that border our state.
This section of our website is dedicated to providing timely information on how foundations and individuals can respond to California disasters with donations and grants.
