The catastrophic images of fire coming from Fort McMurray are devastating. Families have lost everything. Businesses no longer exist. The City of Fort McMurray is overwhelmed.
Albertans have begun to respond to those in need without question. Your NARIMS Board will do the same. On behalf of our membership, and in support of our fellow member the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, NARIMS has donated $1000 to the Canadian Red Cross for Alberta fire relief. We encourage all other RIMS chapters to consider the same as well as other professional societies.
Personal and corporate donations can be made directly to the Canadian Red Cross as well. Donate online to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Emergency Appeal.
Along with all Albertans, our hearts go out to all those affected by the fire and our sincerest gratitude to our first responders.
