Helping You Navigate the California Wildfires: Safety and Recovery
By Newfront | Published October 10, 2017
Our thoughts are with our Bay Area clients, friends and neighbors. With the fires in the North Bay and throughout California continuing to spread, we want to make sure everyone is safe, connected, and aware Newfront is here to help.
Newfront’s first priority is to make sure everyone is safe; second is to help as you navigate this disaster through claims, recovery, and rebuilding. We have pulled together the below information to help you navigate during this difficult time.
Preparedness
Primary and initial steps to take in an emergency: BE SAFE. Listen to local law enforcement and safety authorities. Follow their guidance and encourage colleagues and clients to do the same.
Check state and local resources provided by the Red Cross here to find shelter or resources.
Stay tuned on fire information including road closures, school closures, evacuations, etc. abc7news and Country of Napa are good resources.
Medical facilities and pharmacies have been closed, impacting urgent care and pharmacies. Here are a couple of resources to stay informed: Press Democrat and The Mercury News maintain detailed coverage and updates.
Please know that all patients can access any open hospital and should not be concerned about coverage at this time.
