Welcome to the Humboldt County Red Cross

The Humboldt County Chapter has received some big ticket items this year through donations and grants. This is a picture of our brand new 2008 Toyota Tundra, which was donated to the chapter by Toyota. This is the first vehicle the chapter has ever owned! Attached to the Tundra is one of two new disaster shelter trailers, which will be filled with supplies and placed in outlying areas of the county. The trailers were a part of a larger grant funded by the WalMart Foundation. Standing next to the trucks are two of our disaster leadership volunteers, Dale Bridges and Ken Blackshear.

FORTUNA -- If there's anything common among the 27 North Coast residents honored at the Humboldt County American Red Cross' seventh annual Humboldt Heroes Recognition Luncheon Friday, it's a foot-shuffling modesty and slight discomfort at finding themselves in front of an enthusiastically applauding crowd.

There's also quick-thinking, bravery and a willingness jump in and do what was necessary -- whether it was saving a life or bringing much-needed round-the-clock medical service to a remote rural community.

01/15/2009 Locals Rally Behind Conservation Corps

Read the Times Standard Article Here

The governor's suggested dismantling of the California Conservation Corps has drawn out supporters to vouch for its preservation -- but the administration is holding that it's just too expensive.

The corps is known for its trail building, wildfire suppression support and efforts to rehabilitate damaged salmon habitat. It's often seen as a key nudge for kids teetering between trouble and productivity.

But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sees the CCC's cost to the state's general fund as too high to justify with a projected $42 billion deficit.
