SEARCH AND RESCUE FUND
In launching the Search and Rescue Fund, Direct Relief aims to mobilize private resources to help equip SAR volunteers throughout California with the necessary gear and equipment. The initial focus will support SARs in the six counties that were recently identified under the Presidential Major Disaster Declaration: Merced, Monterey, Sacramento, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz.
In announcing this dedicated fund to expand what Direct Relief has done informally for years, the organization’s president and CEO Thomas Tighe said “California’s volunteer Search and Rescue are a tremendous resource for the people of California. They train hard, obtain certifications, and deploy constantly – often at their own time and expense – to help people in dangerous circumstances. They epitomize the finest traditions of citizen service.
