Feinstein Encourages Families Displaced by Wildfire to Use Evacuation Shelters

Source: United States Senator for California – Dianne Feinstein

Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement updating Californians displaced by wildfires about the evacuation shelters that have been established by the state to ensure no one is without a place to sleep.

“The devastating wildfires burning in Northern California are displacing thousands of Californians. Thankfully, the state has established a number of evacuation sites to provide shelter for families and individuals forced to leave their homes.

“Thousands of spaces remain in these shelters and I encourage Californians to take advantage of these services until they can return to their homes. Reports that some evacuees are running out of money and may not have a place to stay are unacceptable.

“As long as these fires burn and evacuation orders are in place, the state will help those families who are displaced. I encourage anyone who can’t find a shelter location to contact my office and we’ll do all we can to help.”

Following is the list of evacuation shelter sites currently running. Updated shelter information from the California Office of Emergency Services can be found here.
