The monster in the woods. Responding to the East Bay fire.
One agency decided to fight fire with earthquake when it applied its hard-won knowledge of disaster relief to community efforts during and following the East Bay fire. By drawing on its experience with the earthquake of 1989, Vesper Hospice of the East Bay and Vesper Home Health Agency were able to tame the "monster in the woods."
