Los Angeles, CA � Texas global hosting giant C I Host (www.cihost.com) has just created a website to aid victims of California�s wildfires disasters that has burned more than 1,500 homes in five counties and left 20 people dead. C I Host, a global managed web page hosting and server colocation provider, based in Bedford, TX has four data centers, including a 10,000 square foot facility in Los Angeles.



�Like millions of people nationwide and the firefighters on the line, we felt helpless watching flames race through people�s homes live on TV,� said President and CEO Christopher Faulkner of C I Host. �We decided there is something everyone could do and since we have the capability we believe an emergency victim�s relief website will help.�

The website hosted by C I Host was registered today at www.CAWILDFIRE.com and MAYO Communications, an Los Angeles Public Relations firm (www.MayoCommunications.com), will provide the content, which will include up to the moment news on fires, links to emergency resources, e-commerce to donate funds to the American Red Cross and Salvation Army aiding the homeless families.



"American Red Cross (ARC) disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people, said Acting CEO and Chief Operating Officer Angie Turner, San Gabriel Valley Chapter, ARC in Pasadena, CA. �Financial assistance helps provide disaster response, basic needs to victims like food, clothing, shelter, comfort kits, clean up kits, health services, mental health services and case management."

In challenging other corporations to come forward, C I Host CEO and President Christopher Faulkner said, �For every dollar donated to the site for fire victims, we will personally match them dollar for dollar. These wildfire victims need cash, food, clothing and toys for their families staying in shelters and with friends. California has been hard hit by tragedies in the past, but there�s nothing worse than losing your home to a wildfire.�



�Christopher Faulkner has a big heart, and we�re proud to help the wildfire victims,� said President Aida Mayo, MAYO Communications, Los Angeles. �It�s the least we can do and we need to act now.�
