We just heard word from the Pala Mission that a trailer park near Harrah's casino has burned down, leaving over 30 trailers displaced. Each trailer housed multiple families. Two Lideres Comunitarios from Poder Popular were impacted. In Rice Canyon, three Poder Popular lideres comunitarios have lost their trailers and we have not heard from them since Monday. Families on the reservations began to be evacuated this morning. Lideres Comunitarios from the Fallbrook area were evacuated through Camp Pendleton and relocated to Oceanside and Carlsbad.

We will be in touch when we have more information about exact needs and how this effort will be coordinated. In the meantime, please begin to activate your networks. As the university is closed this week I will be communicating and coordinating from home, please call me (Konane) on my cell phone if you have any questions. 868-603-3632
