Wildfire Resources
The Spokane Area Fires have affected individuals and families throughout our region, causing evacuations, property loss, disruptions, and uncertainty. During times like these, our community’s strength is found in the way we care for one another.
We know that WSU Health Sciences Spokane students, staff, and community members may be facing unexpected challenges as they navigate the impacts of these fires. To help provide immediate assistance, we invite those in need to connect with available support resources and encourage those who are able to consider helping others through community giving.
