“Throughout the repopulation of the town, one question was asked repeatedly: How can I help?” Have you found it helpful to assist others going through tough times similar to what you have experienced?
The VTF started a fire ecology lesson at Mountain Elementary School, and soon brought it to all Los Alamos schools. The lesson expanded to reach more than 6,000 students across northern New Mexico and became a national model. The VTF also visited communities recovering from wildfires in Colorado, California, and Arizona. Hearing the perspectives of other wildfire survivors helped people in Los Alamos after Cerro Grande, and the VTF was eager to offer this same assistance to others.
