Arnie Katz is fundraising
I'm Arnie Katz, and after experiencing the Bay Area wildfires, I understand how crucial every minute can be. People have lost their lives because they evacuated too late or took the wrong route. That’s why I support Watch Duty, a nonprofit dedicated to providing real-time wildfire alerts that empower communities to act fast and stay safe.
The campaign aims to ensure that Watch Duty can deliver immediate, accurate information when it matters most.
The funds we raise will go directly to around-the-clock incident monitoring, clear updates as conditions shift, and essential tools for firefighters, first responders, and the communities they serve. By expanding our coverage to more high-risk areas, we can help more people stay informed and prepared.
Together, we can make a difference, helping to save lives and protect our communities from the devastating impacts of wildfires. Thank you for supporting our mission.50 supporters
