Retired employees of stanislaus county organizationsDear SACRS Members & Community,
On behalf of the SACRS Board of Directors and staff, our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Our first concern is for the safety and well-being of our members and colleagues living in the impacted areas. Los Angeles CERA staff are safe but many are currently surviving under evacuation conditions. Many of our Affiliate and Non-Profit members have reported similar evacuation conditions, loss of homes and offices, but have confirmed they are safe.
We are incredibly grateful for the brave and tireless work of the first response teams and volunteers from all over Southern California that are working around the clock to keep the community safe. Additionally, we want to thank the counties in other regions of California that have sent their first response teams, equipment and resources to assist with fighting the fires.
