Wildfire Resources
The Spokane Complex Fires have profoundly impacted members of our WSU Spokane community, as well as our families, friends, and neighbors. Please know that our thoughts are with all those navigating uncertainty, disruption, and loss. Over the last few days, we have heard from colleagues and recognize that during times like these, it is important that we come together to support one another, share resources, and find strength in our collective care and compassion.
The following pages share important community and individual resources, including details of university community gatherings:
- WSU Health Sciences Spokane Emergency Support Resources for students, staff, and community members, including details of community gatherings
