The Disabled American Veterans organization is providing assistance of up to $1,000 for veterans who lost their homes or left their homesunder mandatory, Level 3 evacuation orders. The organization notes that processing requests may take time, and that requests will be processed in the order they're received. Please follow these steps:

1. Email [email protected] and state WILDFIRE RELIEF in the subject line.
2. Provide full name of the veteran/surviving spouse.
3. The address that has been affected.
4. An address you can receive the check at.
5. Your phone number and/or email address.
6. Proof of veteran status. Various types of proof will work, and the veteran DOES NOT need to be in receipt of any VA benefits. Examples: DDF 214, VA rating sheet, driver's license with "veteran" annotation, etc.
7. Are you requesting for food and clothing only OR did you have to evacuate/pay for lodging? Please include as much proof/verification to make this as easy as possible.
