Qualcomm Stadium will be ceasing its operation today at noon. Evacuees at the stadium are requested to move to the Del Mar Fairgrounds shelter. Other Red Cross shelters continue to receive evacuees as well.
These facilities will remain open as long as there is a need. Residents will be provided a safe place to stay, meals and snacks, and basic health services at these locations. Additional shelters are being opened and operated by municipal and partner organizations. Residents in the potential path of fire should monitor local media for the latest information about services, or call 211.
Residents are urged to place their household pets in carriers or crates plus supplies such as food and leashes if they are brought to Red Cross shelters. Bring all necessary daily medications, supplies for your children, and any other critically needed items for the next 24 to 72 hours with you to the shelter.
Residents with large animals are instructed to contact the Del Mar Fairgrounds at 858-509-5245 to find out if there is room to house the animals. Another option for large animals is the Lakeside Rodeo Grounds, located at Highway 67 and Mapleview Street.
If you would like to volunteer or donate items for fire victims, please contact the following organizations:
American Red Cross to replenish supplies at www.sdarc.org
Community Resource Center at 760-753-1156

At this time, the Fairgrounds and the American Red Cross shelter do not need volunteers or donations of supplies for the evacuees.
The Del Mar Fairgrounds appreciate the volunteer care and support through this difficult time for San Diego County residents.
