ICC joins with CALBO to aid California wildfire relief efforts |
| In the past few months, we've seen major devastation from hurricanes in Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and now California is dealing with widespread, deadly wildfires. According to the Los Angeles Times, 15 fires have burned more than 212,000 acres and caused at least 31 deaths. And, the fires continue.
In light of this ongoing disaster, the International Code Council (ICC) has joined with the California Building Officials (CALBO) to match funds donated to the American Red Cross up to $10,000 within the next month. The Red Cross reported on October 12 that overnight at least 5,100 people sought refuge from wildfires in 59 Red Cross and community shelters across the state of California, and additional supplies and volunteers are being mobilized. We once again ask you to open your hearts and your wallets to help our friends in need. Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected. Donate today. ICC is working with CALBO and our other partners to provide additional support as needed. For wildfire safety information and resources, click here. |
