Various materials have been put together by Santa Barbara County’s Voluntary Organization Active in Disaster (VOAD) to help you prepare during an emergency. Community Partners in Caring (CPC) is an active member of VOAD. During the wildfires, designated CPC staff picked-up smoke masks and distributed them to seniors, made them available to volunteers, and sent out updates regarding the fire and air quality. We all need to do our part to keep ourselves and our community safe. Please click on the VOAD logo below to enter their site.
