Impact of Emergency Power Shutoffs

With nearly 30 active fires burning and high temperatures and winds of up to 50mph expected in the coming days — several area utility providers have planned "Public Safety Power Shutoffs" that may impact thousands of homes and businesses across multiple counties.

Power shutoffs will likely impact area food pantries, free food markets and meal sites, which may need to reschedule or cancel distribution services over the weekend. Prolonged outages may also affect the availability of dairy, produce, meat and other perishable items that require cold storage. Please call your local food assistance site to verify hours and product availability before visiting.

Monitor Wildfire Smoke

Wildfire smoke is a mixture of gases and fine particles from burning material. The gases and fine particles can be dangerous if inhaled — especially for children, older adults, and people with heart disease, asthma and other breathing conditions.

Check air quality in your area

Recovering from Wildfires

Wildfires can be particularly stressful because the factors that influence their strength and direction can change at any moment. It is common for people who have lived through these circumstances to experience strong emotions.

Bulk non-perishables, water and other critical supplies are needed in communities affected by wildfires — especially canned meals, pouched meals, meal bars, shelf-stable jerky and cold cereal. If you are a Food Industry Partner interested in donating, please reach out as soon as possible.
