Santa Clara County, Calif. – An information hotline and website are now available for Santa Clara County residents seeking information about resources available to those ordered evacuated due to the SCU Lightning Complex fires.
The hotline can be reached at 408-808-7778. The hotline is for evacuees only, not general fire information. General fire information is available online at http://bit.ly/LightningComplex-SCC.
An evacuation resource center at the Milpitas Library is also available for affected residents. The resource center is staffed by the American Red Cross and serves to assess the needs of individuals and families impacted by the evacuations and determine appropriate resources. It is not a shelter but serves to assist residents with temporary relocation. The site at 160 N. Main St. in Milpitas will open at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
All residents under an evacuation order are urged to take rapid action and leave the area immediately ahead of the fast-moving and unpredictable wildfire.
