PRS offers a variety of immediate, short-term and long-term assistance to survivors of natural disasters, including the Dixie Fire of 2021. Our Disaster Resource Management staff can assist you with clarifying your needs, identifying resources and assistance to meet those needs, and applying for aid, as appropriate. You guide the process in terms of what help you would like to access. Assistance available can include, but is not limited to:

  • household goods, clothing and emergency food
  • heating assistance and supplies to insulate living arrangements against the elements
  • names and contact information for organizations providing additional support
  • connections and referrals to other PRS and non-PRS services (including those not specific to disaster recovery)
  • simple and complex case management to support those looking to rebuild their homes and their lives after a disaster
  • assistance navigating local, state and federal aid programs

Our staff is local, connected to the community, well trained, and trauma-informed. This means they offer their help with an understanding of the area, what our communities have gone through, and an approach that promotes healing and recovery.
