Real talk: We have two crises we are facing today in Butte County. We have an active fire bearing down on our communities, and we are experiencing the ongoing, long-term effects of what we went through during the Camp Fire. (1/5) 
Today is not a day to hide your fears and anxieties that may be reactivated due to the smoke and ash in the sky. Today is a day to reach out for support and share that experience, whether to a loved one or to a support hotline. (2/5)
You can call the Disaster Distress Helpline at 1-800-985-5990 for confidential support in dealing with this moment (3/5)
Today is a day to reach out to those we know who are likely to be affected mentally and emotionally by what’s happening in our part of the world, so that we all know we‘re not alone. And for those of you who need to hear it now: You are not alone. (4/5)
The pain of these crises is deeply felt, and it is a completely reasonable reaction to what our communities are experiencing right now. Take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and we will get through this together. (5/5)
