In today's special episode of Supply Chain Now, we introduce a new series, "Breaking News Now," to bring live, timely, and relevant stories to its audience. In the inaugural episode, hosts Scott Luton and Kristi Porter discuss the devastating impact of the California wildfires with Janice Steverding, Chief Impact and Operations Officer at Gifts for Good.
The conversation highlights the resilience and community spirit of Angelenos, the challenges faced by first responders, and the importance of supporting those affected. Janice shares her personal experience of evacuation and the overwhelming support from neighbors and colleagues.
Listen in for actionable ways to help, including donating to vetted organizations and using the Watch Duty app for real-time updates, and the need for collective action and long-term support for recovery efforts.
