Meet SurCATS
A great team of local residents, organizations and county and state agencies are working together to mitigate and prevent life and property-threatening events in Big Sur as a result of the summer fires. SurCATS is the largely volunteer, community group facilitating the communication of this information to the public through this website and if needed, a hotline or other system. SurCATS was created in Big Sur 10 years ago to serve the community during times of disaster.

SurCATS was founded in 1998 in response to the El Nino disaster situation in Big Sur. As a result of the Basin Complex Fire this year, the organization has re-invented itself and is focused upon providing clear and accurate information about the dynamic situations Big Sur will face this winter. The mission of the organization is to provide the community with a trusted information source for current, accurate information on disaster related topics. SurCATS committee leaders include: Barbara Ray Daughters, Nadine Clark, and Lisa Goettel, who are coordinating closely with CERT Team leaders Dick Ravich and Mary Trotter. Frank Pinney of the Big Sur Fire Brigade and representatives from involved agencies and local organizations.

OLD NOTES FROM THE 2007 BIG SUR WILDFIRE:

There is a growing need for volunteers, housing and accurate information as Big Sur faces the Basin Complex fire.

This site is like a community bulletin board matching those in need with those who want to help. We are running this on the honor system and counting on the basic good nature of everyone to post only information that is known to be true.

Need Help, Offer Help
Have a need for either Housing or Volunteers? Have a place to stay or want to give your time? Your posting will be available for those looking for ways to help and those in need.

Notices & Resources
We have also compiled a Notices section, where announcements can be made pertaining to homes lost, local business operations, lost and found, local events happening or not happening, and more. The Resources & Links page has a comprehensive and up-to-date list of useful links and phone numbers.

Thank You's
In the midst of this fire, every day brings more acts of kindness and compassion. We wanted to provide a place for you to share your gratitude and stories through a new Thank You section.
