Timberland Bank President Mike Sand, right, presents a $10,000 check to community leader John Warring (middle) and Jim Daly, executive director of the Grays Harbor Community Foundation. The foundation has established an ad-hoc committee to administer funds received specifically for January 2015 storm relief efforts. The committee is developing guidelines and processes to expedite distribution of these funds to local agencies and nonprofits for local relief. “Grays Harbor is our home and we are humbled seeing local families and businesses affected by the storm. The Grays Harbor Community Foundation’s ad-hoc committee provides an excellent local resource for us to expedite these funds to help restore our friends and neighbors who have experienced flood damage,” Sand said. The committee is working to help government and relief agencies to understand the full extent of the disaster, and recommends that all who have had damage to their property, home, land, autos, etc. fill out a Damage Assessment Form with officials at the City of Hoquiam, the City of Aberdeen, or Grays Harbor County so that the disaster might qualify for FEMA relief. If citizens have specific emergency needs or questions regarding relief services available, they should call Coastal Community Action Program at: 360-533-5100 ext. 151, or a direct line is 500-4551 and toll free at 800-828-4883 or by e-mail: barbm@coastalcap.org.
