Spokane is more than just a real estate market to us—it’s our home, our neighborhood, and our community. Seeing the impact of the active wildfires across Spokane County and watching neighbors face evacuation orders is heartbreaking.
During times like this, staying safe, connected, and informed is what matters most. Whether you have been displaced, are monitoring evacuation levels, or simply want to know how to support those on the frontlines, we’ve put together a quick guide to key local resources.
🚨 Immediate Help & Shelters
Emergency Shelter: The American Red Cross has opened an emergency shelter at the Spokane Convention Center for residents displaced by the fires.
Red Cross Assistance: If you need help finding shelter or disaster relief services, visit the American Red Cross Disaster Relief portal or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
🗺️ Evacuation Alerts & Official Updates
Spokane County Emergency Management: For real-time evacuation zone maps (Level 1, 2, and 3 notices), official county emergency declarations, and road closures, check the Spokane County Emergency Management Dashboard.
Alert Spokane: Register your phone for localized emergency notifications and evacuation alerts through ALERT Spokane.
Washington DNR Wildfire Info: Follow fire containment progress and state incident updates via the Washington Department of Natural Resources.
🤝 How to Help Our Neighbors
If you are safe and looking for ways to support displaced families and first responders:
Monetary & Local Relief: You can support localized, long-term disaster recovery through the Innovia Foundation Wildfire Response Fund or directly to Red Cross Disaster Relief.
Food & Supplies: Local donation drop-offs for non-perishable goods, bottled water, and hygiene items are being organized by Second Harvest Inland Northwest.
To our first responders, firefighters, and emergency crews working tirelessly around the clock: thank you.
Please stay alert, look out for your neighbors, and keep roads clear for emergency vehicles. We will get through this together, Spokane. ❤️
