Service Spotlight:
Since the 2017 Tubbs Fire, Catholic Charities has been at the forefront of a community-driven movement to bolster new systems better equipped to support survivors through disasters.

Alongside the Sonoma County Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) and the County of Sonoma, our team is able to coordinate response as well as swiftly triage needs so the people who need it most can receive help navigating their situation. COADs are powered by a myriad of unique expertise and collaboration as they launch on-site to support disaster survivors in their time of need. We are thankful for the opportunity to bring our expertise to the collective.
