From PG&E: Our wildfire response website is live – view it here. This has real time information on all of the gas relight process including estimated times of restoration and when people can expect to get a visit from our gas service representatives.

Breathe safe! Sonoma County Dept of Health Services recommends you follow these healthy habits (En Espanol abajo)

• Stay indoors as much as possible.
• If possible, seek shelter in buildings with filtered air OR move to areas outside the region less impacted by wildfire smoke until smoke levels subside.
• Keep your windows and doors closed unless it’s extremely hot outside. If you don’t have an air conditioner, staying inside with the windows closed may be dangerous in extremely hot weather. In these cases, seek alternative shelter.
• Run your home or car air conditioner on recycle or recirculate. Keep the fresh air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent bringing additional smoke inside.
• If you or your children have asthma or other lung disease, make sure you follow your doctor’s directions about taking your medicines and following your asthma management plan. Call your doctor for advice if symptoms worsen or consider leaving the area.
• For those who cannot avoid being outdoors in a smoky environment, the use of particulate respirators, sometimes referred to as “N95 masks”, can help reduce exposure. N95 or P100 respirators can help to filter out particles, but they do not remove irritating chemicals contained in smoke

En Espanol …! ¡Respire de manera saludable! El Departamento de Servicios de Salud del Condado de Sonoma le recomienda los siguientes hábitos saludables:

• Quédese adentro lo más posible.
• De ser posible, busque refugio en edificios con aire filtrado o trasládese a zonas fuera de la región menos impactadas por el humo de los incendios, hasta que se reduzcan los niveles de humo.
• Mantenga cerradas sus ventanas y puertas, al menos de que haga mucho calor afuera. Si no tiene acondicionador de aire, quedarse adentro con las ventanas cerradas podría ser peligroso cuando la temperatura está muy elevada. En estos casos, busque un refugio alternativo.
• Use el botón de recirculación del aire acondicionado en su coche y en su casa. Mantenga cerrada la entrada de aire fresco y mantenga limpio el filtro para evitar la entrada de humo adicional al interior de su coche o casa.
• Si usted o sus hijos padecen de asma u otras enfermedades pulmonares, asegúrese de seguir las instrucciones de su médico acerca de cómo tomar sus medicamentos y cómo seguir su plan de control del asma. Consulte con su médico si empeoran sus síntomas o considere trasladarse a otra área.
• Para aquellos que no puedan evitar estar afuera en un ambiente lleno de humo, el uso de respiradores con filtro de partículas, a veces conocidos como “mascarillas N95” puede reducir la exposición. Las mascarillas N95 o P100 pueden ayudar a filtrar las partículas, pero no remueven los químicos irritantes presentes en el humo.

The post office will provide the mail collection on Saturday and Sunday 14 and 15 October for the people displaced by the fires.On Saturday, October 14 and Sunday, October 15, 2017, people with addresses in Postal Code 95403 can pick up their mail between 9 A.M.

In consideration of these distressing circumstances, ICE will continue to suspend routine immigration enforcement operations in the areas affected by the fires in northern California, except in the event of a serious criminal presenting a public safety threat. Likewise, immigration enforcement will not be conducted at evacuation sites, or assistance centers such as shelters or food banks.

¡Por favor difunda esta información!

A continuación, se encuentra lo que ICE (la rama investigativa del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional) indica que está transmitiendo a la prensa. Se enviará una declaración formal por correo electrónico lo antes posible.

La agencia ICE está sumamente preocupada por la devastación que han ocasionado los incendios forestales en grandes áreas del norte de California. Nuestros pensamientos están con aquellos que han sido impactados por esta tragedia, mientras que nuestra mayor prioridad sigue siendo la preservación de la vida y la seguridad donde sea posible.

En consideración de estas circunstancias angustiosas, ICE seguirá suspendiendo la aplicación rutinaria de las operaciones de inmigración en las áreas afectadas por los incendios en el norte de California, excepto en el evento de que un criminal peligroso represente una amenaza a la seguridad pública. De igual manera, no se realizará aplicación de inmigración en los Centros de Evacuaciones o en los centros de asistencia, como refugios o bancos de comida.

Representatives from City, County, State and Federal agencies will be available. Residents and business operators can prepare now for this opportunity by collecting any personal documentation and paperwork they may have available, such as insurance policy numbers, birth certificates, driver’s license, social security card, passport, veterans’ information, etc. It is helpful to have this information available but not required in order to receive assistance. Please continue to check srcity.org/emergency for details on this resource as they become available

UPDATE:

Common Questions and Concerns via the City of Sonoma

• Firefighting efforts over night were extensive and were aided by low winds and higher humidity.
• There continues to be no fire activity within the City limits.
• The only evacuation area currently within City limits is a Voluntary Advisory evacuation area north of West Napa St./East Napa St. There are no mandatory evacuation areas in the City at this time.
• The evacuation area in El Verano/The Springs (north of Petaluma Ave, south of Madrone, east of Arnold) is also Voluntary at this time. No fire activity in this area. Sonoma County has a good GIS map of affected areas here and is regularly updating: http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html…
• Voluntary evacuation areas mean that you are advised, but not required to leave. If you need to return for some purpose, you may, but please know that the air quality is extremely poor, the fire activity is not stabilized, and we remain in a situation where change can happen quickly.

Donations
All food donations should be directed to the Redwood Empire Food Bank. Please visit their Facebook page or website for donation and volunteer info: www.refb.org

City of Petaluma Fire Update
There are currently NO recommended, voluntary, or mandatory evacuation orders for the City of Petaluma, and no immediate danger to the City of Petaluma. However, the fluid nature of this incident means the situation may change on short notice. Contrary to recent media reports, the City of Petaluma is recommending that all its citizens take prudent precautionary measures (for example packing a “go bag”) and develop personal contingency plans in the event evacuation becomes recommended or necessary.

UPDATE 10/11/17 – 3:00pm:
Wine industry leaders have formed a support network to provide immediate assistance and long-term aid to victims of the fires ravaging Northern California and are calling on the national wine community for additional help.  Organized by a group of association leaders representing the Golden State’s major wine growing regions, support efforts include fundraising and creation of an online resource where vintners can find and offer resources, such as generators, trailers, lodging and manpower.

Short-Term Help

Vintners in the affected areas have immediate on-the-ground needs, ranging from equipment to experienced manpower.  Priorities include:

• Water Tanks, as local water resources are scarce and needed by firefighters; those who can provide should immediately email maureen@SonomaValleyWine.com

• Generators to power cooling tanks and other urgently-need equipment

• Tractors and trailers to assist with moving grapes, equipment and debris

• Lodging to house workers, including tents, mobile unites or locals willing to open their homes

• Volunteer Labor. Experienced vineyard and cellar workers are needed; unskilled manpower is also welcome

The group has created an online form where supporters can list available resources and provide contact information.  Resource and contact information will be shared only with members of Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino winegrowing and vintner associations. Click http://bit.ly/2wNVda0 to offer resources.

Long-Term Help

Established community foundations in each of the counties impacted by the Northern California wildfires have created relief funds to provide aid to local fire victims. The group of regional leaders organizing the wine industry support effort encourages those who cannot provide ground support to make a donation in any amount to the following funds:

• Sonoma County Resilience Fund:  https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/1431417

• Napa Valley Community Foundation:  http://napavalleycf.org/fire-donation-page/

• Community Foundation of Mendocino County:  http://www.communityfound.org/for-donors/donate-today/community-funds/disaster-fund-for-mendocino-county/

Community wide fundraising efforts are underway and messaging is being organized around the hashtag #CAWineStrong.

WINE COMMUNITY RALLIES TO PROVIDE AID AND RESOURCES TO FIRE VICTIMS

Wine Industry Organizations Throughout California Form Support Network to Assist Vintners in Three Counties; Leaders Call for National Support

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (October 11, 2017)—Wine industry leaders have formed a support network to provide immediate assistance and long-term aid to victims of the fires ravaging Northern California and are calling on the national wine community for additional help.  Organized by a group of association leaders representing the Golden State’s major winegrowing regions, support efforts include fundraising and creation of an online resource where vintners can find and offer resources, such as generators, trailers, lodging and manpower.

“Our focus right now is on getting on-the-ground support to impacted growers and vintners to help stave off further damage,” says Ann Petersen, Executive Director of Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley.  “We need the entire wine community to support this region with immediate and strategic action.”

Petersen is working with other local industry leaders to organize resources and direct them to those in need.

“The Santa Cruz Mountains AVA wine community is heavyhearted today as we watch the continued impact of the wildfires on so many of our wine country brethren,” says Megan Metz, Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association.  “It’s times like these that remind us how important the company of family and friends can be. We have banded together to help our friends as best we can to protect their businesses and livelihoods and will continue partnering on recovery efforts in the weeks and months ahead.”
