RFP Medical Support for Disaster Shelter

Sonoma County is susceptible to a plethora of natural disasters, including but not limited to fires, flooding, earthquakes, and tsunamis, with multiple events of such nature potentially occurring within a single calendar year. Over the past several years, Sonoma County has experienced devastating wildfires including the 2017 Tubbs Fire, the 2019 Kincade fire, and the LNU Lightning Complex fires and the Glass Fire in 2020.
