Also, the San Diego Humane Society announced yesterday that it would deliver more than 22 tons of hay for the reservation's horses and cattle, which were feeding on pastures that burned. – O.S. -> Poomacha Fire Donation Information: As a result of the Poomacha Fire, which began on October 23 on the La Jolla Indian Reservation over 9,000 acres of the reservation land was burned, with extensive loss of oak and wildlife. 55 of our homes were destroyed and approximately 30 homes suffered smoke damage. Over 180 tribal members were left homeless. The electricity and telephone service has been restored on most parts of the reservation. The water system experienced numerous breakages and needs extensive repairs. Under the best of circumstances, the rebuilding of the community will take years, perhaps decades. We are a non-gaming tribe and our financial position is insufficient to handle such a catastrophic event. Our tribe is in dire need of funds for our recovery process. Any assistance you can provide will be sincerely appreciated.

Biggest need right now is AIR PURIFIERS. Many kids have Asthma and the air quality with all the ash is hard on the elders and babies. 98% of the Res is burnt and it literally looks like you are walking on the moon. Many families are seeking alternate living situations currently due to the health concerns and there are many newborns. ~They are okay for batteries now and 98% of the electricity on the Res has been restored. ~Last Sat. the So. Baptist Convention (which I heard was asking for 500 volunteers) had 40-50 volunteers, along with heavy equipment. Debris removal is going at a good clip and he was satisfied with it (although he doesn't have direct knowledge). ~There is one road in and one road out of the Res they really do not have an emergency store of supplies. He wants to get some storage units out there in the event they lose power or have any future disasters that holds generators, food stores, first-aid supplies, etc. Enough for at least one week will be needed. ~I will be speaking with the Tribe Council Secretary for additional assessment and answers Calvin could not supply. Most Urgent supply needs currently: Air Purifiers Baby/Newborn Clothing Baby Newborn supplies Generators First-Aid Kits/Supplies Non-perishable food stock for the coming mos. of recovery NEED TO ASK ABOUT WATER! ===================================================================== NOTE: 11/6/07 Calvin Rodriguez was NOT interviewed for this article and there are inaccuracies.
