so glad I watched this entire live (as of 22 hours ago) youtube video from a woman named Mel who is helping coordinate with Walmart who has been of immense help to these now homeless victims of the Camp Fire. She's helping folks find shelters, rides to other areas, etc. As of this video time, Red Cross absent save to sign folks up to get to non Red cross shelters.
FEMA basically not there either telling folks they must exhaust all resources for loans before they can get $$ from FEMA!!
Dozens of people loaded their vans, RVs with supplies, food, clothing, pet foods, supplies of all kinds, folks bbqing chicken, hamburgers, lots of food for what appears to be hundreds upon hundreds of families emcamped at the Chico Walmart.

Walmart orderedd porta potties and other necessities for these folks, she says they have been beyond helpful and best news of all - WALMART SAYS THEY CAN STAY! It's so heart warming to see all the help pouring in to this tent city there! :)

I'd skip the 1st 15-20 minutes or so of the video as it's after that she gets into the heart of this story.
