San Diego, CA, October 30, 2007 --(PR.com)-- As residents return to the San Diego and Los Angeles areas to see if their homes survived the deadly fires that have been raging this past week, Humanity First continues to assess disaster and relief needs on a daily basis.
In the past two days, Humanity First has carried through a number of projects in Orange and San Diego Counties.
