Our Mission
CARe’s mission is to provide free comprehensive information about disaster recovery -including the insurance claim process - to disaster victims so they may effectively reestablish their homes, lives and communities.

Why we're needed

Navigating the maze of recovery is an overwhelming task to many survivors. We help ease that burden by educating people so they can help themselves through the process.

What We Do

CARe is an educational 501c3 non-profit California corporation established in response to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake and devoted its first seven years to helping survivors navigate the often difficult road to recovery.

Our Experience

Due to the overwhelming number of claims resulting from the earthquake, we honed our knowledge of the insurance claim process. Sine that time, CARe has helped tens of thousands of survivors devastated by a range of natural disasters; from hurricanes in the Southeast and tornadoes in the Midwest, to Southwest wildfires and California wildfires.

All CARe volunteers and staff have lost their homes and successfully recovered from fire or earthquake disasters. They've been there and understand the needs of disaster survivors. It is the passion for "paying it forward" that draws survivors back to our organization to help survivors of the next disaster.
