This
Week’s Meeting Schedule:
If you have a recovery tip you’d like to share
with new fire survivors, please reply with your
suggestion. Public
Adjuster May NOT be Your Best Choice For those of you who are new to disaster recovery,
we offer this suggestion regarding public
adjusters. A
public adjuster, for a percentage fee up to 33% of your insurance claim,
works for you, not the insurance company. A public adjuster is licenses
and regulated by your state. Although a public adjuster will offer to save you
the frustration of completing the seemingly endless paperwork required by
your adjuster, you still must be 100% involved in the process because only
you know your loss. The public adjuster may offer to give you the “inside
dope” of the insurance claims settlement process. With the Internet and
advocacy groups available, all information you will need to settle your
claim is available for free. During our recent experiences in the 2007

adjuster, please consider the following [Click HERE

______________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you
know someone who lost their home in the fires this past
month? If you know someone who has lost their home,
please feel free to forward this email to them. We highly recommend they
register on our website at http://www.carehelp.org/register.php
so they can get in the recovery loop. If they hear about CARe from a
friend they are more likely to get help from us than from someone who just
sees a handout at a recovery center.
______________________________________________________________________________________________ Aid and
Charity Keep Flowing in the Wake of the Tea
Fire During
this Thanksgiving holiday, those whose homes were lost or damaged in the
Tea Fire can take solace in the fact that more than a few area
organizations are trying to ease this difficult time. Additionally, those
who feel some generosity to spare or karma points to earn can still help,
as many of the below organizations are still seeking donations in the form
of money, food, furniture, or personal items. (Check before you attempt to
drop off, however, as certain charities only want certain items.) The
below list of aid opportunities is not complete, as organizations are
always seeking donations or
volunteers. http://www.independent.com/news/2008/nov/26/tea-and-sympathy-continues/
