One Year
Later... from a 2003 Fire
Survivor About a year after the fire I asked other 2003
survivors if they had any tips to give. Rachael Hernandez’s family lost
their house to the Old Fire in “It's all about patience, and take
lots of pictures. I have a scrapbook just on the house. It's
amazing how on some days it felt like nothing or no one was working on
‘our’ house and the kids loved to see the progress using the
scrapbook. “As for anyone who has lost their
homes to a disaster, I would have to say that you have to find a
focus. For my self I focus on my kids and their well being…our lives
still have to go on, we eat sleep, work,
school… “I still have some issues that I too
need to work on such as a few weeks ago we had really bad winds….the wind
is what blew the fire that day and the kids and I can smell smoke almost
instantly and the siren from the fire engine. My kids are doing well, we
talk about how they feel and they continue to adapt to everyday living
….we have learned that no matter what the situation is stay
calm.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank You

Insurers To Pass On Federal Bailout Funds, But Life Insurers May Sign
Up The insurance industry is split down the middle
over whether to accept funds from the $700 billion federal bailout
