Serving Our Community
We bridge the gap in disaster readiness and recovery for Santa Cruz County residents, prioritizing those most vulnerable to climate-driven disasters due to geography, age, economic barriers, or access and functional needs.

Helping Santa Cruz Recover, Rebuild, and Prepare
Helping Santa Cruz Recover, Rebuild, and Prepare
Formed in response to the devastating 2020 CZU Complex Lightning Fire and strengthened following the 2023 atmospheric river disasters, SCCLTRG brings local agencies and organizations together to support long-term community recovery. Through our volunteer rebuild projects, disaster case management, and upcoming wildfire mitigation services, we help local residents navigate recovery, rebuild safer homes, and strengthen their preparedness for future disasters.
