Dear Friend
We've been watching the wildfire activity closely. Be prepared and stay safe using this map and your local alert networks to track the fire's spread and know when and where to evacuate.
Remember that Binc is here to help when bookstore owners, booksellers, comic shop employees, and comic shop owners have a severe financial need, including those caused by natural disasters.
Please pass along this message to your bookstore and comic shop colleagues that might be impacted by the fires.
Thank you for helping us spread the word.
For immediate disaster assistance, Binc may be able to help with personal expenses related to evacuation. Booksellers, comic shop employees, shop and store owners can also call Binc directly to receive information via phone: 1-866-733-9064.

- After the initial disaster has passed, the Foundation may be able to help bookstore and comic shop owners and their employees with personal household expenses.
- If an employee has lost more than 50% of their weekly work hours due to the fire and this is causing a financial hardship, they qualify to apply for assistance.
- Down the road, if your store needs help reopening, Binc may be able to help with certain losses or repairs.
Please take a look at the assistance page on our website, email help@bincfoundation.org, or call 866.733.9064 and Kit or Kate can talk through the possible assistance options.
Stay safe,
Judey
