What about FEMA? Isn’t this why they exist?
FEMA frequently approves public assistance funding to replace public infrastructure destroyed in disasters - roads, water systems, utilities, and more. However, they are less likely to approve individual assistance funding - as was the case with the 2014 & 2015 Washington wildfires.
What about State funding?
State funds are often unpredictable when it comes to long term disaster recovery efforts. With frequent changes in government, funds can be “swept” and reallocated. Additionally, the State does not fund individual property loss. This is where community comes in.
How do I sign up to participate in the event?

Is it possible to participate in all three disciplines on one event day?
Typically no, as the tours will happen simultaneously. However, certain locations are conducive to relays. Keep an eye out for specialty days.
