Send Emergency Aid to Alberta Wildfire Crisis Relief Efforts 

On May 6th, Alberta declared a state of emergency due to out-of-control wildfires in the province. As of May 12th, 73 wildfires are still burning in Alberta’s forest protection areas, including 20 that are out of control. Hot, dry weather, along with powerful winds, are anticipated in the days ahead. More than 16,000 people still remain displaced. Mandatory evacuation orders may stay in place for days or weeks longer due to the loss of critical infrastructure or the potential hazards posed by encroaching flames.
