A message to the Wyoming DD Community

There are currently four active wildfires in the city and county of Los Angeles. These fires have taken a toll on those in the IDD community. We have been in communication with the DD Council in California and have been provided the following information:

- People with IDD in California are served by a series of 21 non-profits called regional centers (RC) that contract with the state to provide or coordinate care.
- 7 RCs serve the Los Angeles area, and all 7 are impacted directly or indirectly. RCs serving fire-impacted areas are: Westside RC, Lanterman RC, San Gabriel Pomona RC.
- The 3 fire-impacted RCs serve a total of 43,300 people with IDD and their families.
- 1,461 RC consumers are evacuated.
- An estimated 100 homes of RC consumers and families have burned.
- One RC consumer and his father died in the Eaton fire.

We have received a request to communicate specific needs for those impacted by the fires within California’s IDD community. If you wish to contribute, they are needing:

-Water
-Diapers across age ranges and sizes
-Masks
-Air purifiers
-Sensory objects
-Menstrual products
