The site will include a mobile health clinic, distributions of air purifiers and masks on a first-come, first-served basis and connections to resources to support residents. Several agencies will participate in the center to provide information to help community members in need.
City officials expressed concerns that the rotting food from the fire would pose a biohazard risk to surrounding neighborhoods. The company and warehouse owner will be financially responsible for the cleanup under the oversight of the Emergency Management Department.
