New Center Opens In Ventura County To Help Woolsey, Hill Fire Victims

The state and the federal government opened a joint center in Ventura County to help victims of the Woolsey and Hill brush fires. The Ventura County Disaster Recovery Center has FEMA, State of California, and Small Business Administration representatives on hand, as well as people from other agencies which can help fire victims.

The two fires burned more than 100,000 acres of land, and destroyed or damaged about 2000 structures. The center is located at 173 North Moorpark Road, in Thousand Oaks.

It’s open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.
