Community Assisting REcovery website has a Personal Property Inventory Worksheet/Database to help remember the things you had in your house. You might be able to deduct loss in excess of what your insurance pays off your income taxes.

    • “Insurance 101 for Fire Survivors”: The first half of the evening will include a presentation of important insurance recovery information. The second half of the evening will be spent in “breakout sessions” where all attendees will be organized by insurance carrier, so you will have an opportunity to meet and network with other Firestorm Survivors who have your same insurance carrier. A United Policyholders Disaster Recovery Mentor from each major insurance company will be present to help facilitate discussion for each group.
    • Legal Issues: Underinsurance, Recorded Statements and Examinations Under Oath - Scheduled speaker: Richard Huver, Esq.

Mr. Farallo is a Certified Professional Estimator and on the board of directors for the San Diego Society of Professional Estimators.
      As with the 1st meeting, insurance company “breakout sessions” will follow the presentation, so attendees will have an opportunity to continue networking with other Firestorm Survivors who have their same insurance company.

========= CHILDCARE =========

  • Families currently enrolled at the Westwood Club Preschool should contact Ellen Weinstein, the director, to take advantage of extended times and service on non-school days.
  • Many Westwood families have volunteered to provide childcare. Until a location is secured, this would be between the two families, in the volunteer’s home.

======= NOTICES =======

  • San Diego Fire Station 33, in Rancho Bernardo, is in need of an EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER. It was built almost 40 years ago for a 3-man crew and one engine. Now the station inadequately accommodates 6 men and women and a fire engine, a brush truck, AND an ambulance. 30 years of deferred maintenance have left the station in terrible disrepair. A RB Family made a video that KNSD featured, asking EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER to makeover our fire station. We would like to start a letter writing campaign to ABC asking them to help our community rebuild by supporting our RB firefighters. If you are interested in writing a letter, please address it to: Lock & Key Productions c/o Family Casting P.O. BOX 38670 Los Angeles, CA. 90038 Please feel free to ask any of your friends or family to join our campaign!
