Cómo reconstruir después de un incendio: Información y recursos de recuperación

Hemos encontrado útiles los siguientes recursos e información sobre la reconstrucción después de incendios forestales. Aunque no respaldamos oficialmente estas organizaciones externas, esperamos que se beneficien de ellas y especialmente del siguiente documento:

Póngase en contacto con su aseguradora lo antes posible para presentar la reclamación:

Averigüe si los gastos de alojamiento temporal y otros medios de comunicación están cubiertos por su plan.

¿Todavía tiene preguntas sobre el seguro? La división de regulaciones financieras de los defensores del consumidor puede ayudar

Llame al número 888-877-4894 (llamada gratuita).

Visite dfr.oregon.gov y pulse el botón rojo de recursos del seguro contra incendios. Infórmese sobre la remoción de residuos peligrosos, cenizas y escombros.

Los materiales quemados pueden ser peligrosos y requieren algo más que guantes y una máscara para proteger su salud. Hacer su propia limpieza sin la protección adecuada pone en riesgo su salud.

Se han puesto a disposición de los propietarios de viviendas elegibles que pueden aliviar la carga financiera de la limpieza.

Inscríbase para recibir actualizaciones y averigüe si es elegible en el sitio de web wildfire.oregon.gov/cleanup.

PROTEJA SU INVERSIÓN. Contrate sólo a contratistas con licencia.
-Verifique que los contratistas tienen una licencia activa y compruebe el historial de reclamaciones en oregon.gov/ccb.
-Compruebe las referencias de los contratistas.
-Los contratistas con licencia tienen fianza y seguro y están obligados a proteger sus derechos como consumidores.
-También tendrá acceso a la ayuda de la CCB si surgen problemas.
-Siempre que sea posible, reúnase con varios contratistas. No suponga que la oferta más baja es la mejor.
Consigue un contrato detallado por escrito. Un buen contrato incluye:
-Descripción detallada del trabajo a completar.
-Lista de materiales, incluyendo calidad, cantidad, etc.

-Importe presupuestado, calendario de pagos Y lenguaje sobre el proceso de órdenes de cambio.
-Lista de permisos necesarios y quién los obtendrá.
-Garantías de trabajo.
-Avisos de construcción residencial requeridos por la CCB.

Protéjase de las estafas. No pague en efectivo las reparaciones de su casa. Nunca firme el cheque del seguro en un solo pago. Conozca los signos más comunes de una estafa:
-Demanda de grandes pagos por adelantado o pagos a un individuo directamente en lugar de a la empresa que usted contrató.
-El contratista utiliza tácticas de presión para solicitar por teléfono o puerta a puerta.
-El contratista hace una “oferta por tiempo limitado”.
-Visite el sitio web del Departamento de Justicia para obtener más información sobre estafas y fraudes: oregonconsumer.gov o llame a la línea de atención al consumidor para más preguntas al número 1-877-877-9392.

Esta es una charla reveladora sobre las dificultades de la reconstrucción tras los incendios en el Oeste:

Local Innovation Lab interns are making a real difference in our valley’s recovery from the twin disasters of 2020.  Their impact was recently featured in our local newspaper.





The article features Local Innovation Lab intern Hannah Brandt, who worked with the City of Phoenix to clean up their post-Almeda fire water billing and helped them with their 2021-2022 fiscal budget. To quote:







Brandt is one of the first beneficiaries of Local Innovation Lab, a project borne from the 501c3 nonprofit Local Innovation Works, whose genesis can be traced back to a conversation between Humane Leadership Institute founder Stephen Sloan and Local Innovation Lab program director Ellen Holty. Last April, Sloan had just published his book “Humane Leadership: Tools to Engage, Empower, and Improve Performance” and had planned to go on a book tour down the West Coast. Then COVID-19 struck, which led to a heart-to-heart between Sloan and Holty.









“You just wrote a book about leadership, and our community needs leaders more than ever,” Holty told Sloan. “What are you going to do, here, now?”







Here’s how Hannah was impacted by the experience.







Brandt said her internship with the city of Phoenix has been an eye-opener, and a godsend.





“Honestly, better than I even imagined,” she said. “I was excited to get experience in the field I want to go down, number one, and number two, just to be involved in the community has been amazing. I haven’t had that opportunity, especially with COVID and everything. It’s been a lot of being at home and not going and seeing anything. So getting to talk with people in the community and help out has been awesome and more than I could have asked for.”
