We are calling upon you again as our community navigates this most recent event.聽We ask:

• If you haven't already done so, take a moment to reach out to your employees and check in.

• That you are flexible with your employees.聽Flexibility may be needed not only by those directly impacted, but also those helping to support family and friends who experienced loss during the Marshall Fire disaster.聽
