Belize Consulate Supports Diaspora Amid Wildfires

The Consulate of Belize in Los Angeles has issued a message addressing the devastating wildfires impacting California, including members of the Belizean diaspora in that state.

It said that, “Minister Anthony Mahler and the entire team at the Ministry of Tourism and Diaspora Relations remain deeply concerned for all those affected by the devastating fires in California, especially our Belizean brothers and sisters facing these difficult circumstances.”

Minister Mahler encouraged individuals to utilise support services such as emergency shelters provided by the Red Cross. He also urged those wishing to make donations to contribute to reputable disaster relief organisations like the Red Cross and the Salvation Army to ensure that aid reaches those most in need.

Additionally, the Consulate shared information on critical services for those impacted, including locating missing loved ones through the Red Cross and obtaining replacements for vital documents such as passports and birth certificates. Belizeans requiring assistance were advised to contact the consulate via email with specific requests.

The Consulate urged Belizeans to remain vigilant, adhere to local authority guidelines, and make use of the available support for their safety and recovery.
