Hepatitis A Solutions for California
The death toll for Hepatitis A is now at twenty people with more than five hundred infected in California. (as of October 31, 2017)
Three in one hundred homeless persons have the infection which is passed by fecal
material on hand contact in poor sanitary conditions. The virus is not "curable" but there
is medication to survive an infection. Homeless persons have less access to healthcare and sanitary conditions, cities with large homeless populations are seeing the highest numbers of infections. San Diego, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles and anywhere it's warm and we have relaxed police policies we will see a huge increase in the numbers of deaths and infections in the coming 2018 year
If you live near or next to homeless camps or homeless persons living on the street you must be extra vigilant about washing your hands with hot water and soap and shake after fifteen times to air dry before eating, after going to public places and before going to sleep. Practice not touching or itching your face. Consider getting the vaccine.
This epidemic isn't being covered by the news. Perhaps the story is not that interesting.
Items you may consider giving to homeless persons: disinfectant wipes,
find out where hepatitis A vaccines are being given for free and make a flyer,
make camping washing stations from milk jugs and put nails in the lid to allow water to spray and a roll of paper towels and liquid soap.
What else can we do?
Fixing the homeless situation is a larger problem.
We could build simple structures from metal containers, cut out welded windows and doors, add insulation and a shade roof. These could be made into simple mobile homes that are set up on land with community showers and community kitchens. The cost to construct per unit is $19000 cost to rehab a building or build the community building with concrete shower stalls $120000.
All I need is the land and the money to start construction...

5. State Franchise Tax Board also offers calamity tax relief
You must apply for the tax loss through the county assessor. They do not automatically give homeowners credit. Don’t assume the assessor will give you a fair amount of tax loss. Land value is going to be drastically reduced because of contaminants and chemicals from the fire. We will rebuild but certain areas that were destroyed may reduce in land value because of the event and stigma.
6. The application submitted by the person who was the owner of the damaged property on the lien date (January 1) and who will be liable for the property taxes for the next fiscal year.

I can email or send you the pdf of the form or help you fill it out. You need the address and APN number available on the county tax website lookup. DO NOT underestimate costs. Construction cost to rebuild figure in high-cost areas is $400 to $440 per square foot. Some properties may not be able to be rebuilt to the like kind. Some properties in rural Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma and Yuba Counties may be more expensive to re-construct.
Beware of giving contractors large cash up front. Contractors will be stressed to the financial maximum and will charge higher fees to complete work. Contractors may take on more work than they can reasonably finish to deadlines. Time costs money. Your insurance adjuster is not your pal. Videotape, cell phone photos and save all to the cloud- google cloud, or iPhone cloud or what you have- email to yourself and save.
Make lists of everything you think you lost and consult others – children, friends, relatives who may recall items in your home. They may also have photographs of the home during holidays, compile these images.

Desgravación fiscal disponible después del incendio
1. Reducir el impuesto a la propiedad debido a la pérdida de valor
2. Mover la base impositiva a otro condado
3. Mover la base impositiva a la nueva propiedad
4. Pérdida del IRS Pérdida de heridos. Es posible que pueda deducir las pérdidas en función del daño infligido a su propiedad durante un desastre. Una vÃctima es un evento repentino, inesperado o inusual. Esto puede incluir desastres naturales como huracanes, incendios, tornados, inundaciones y terremotos.
5. La Junta Estatal de Impuestos de Franquicias también ofrece alivio de impuestos por calamidades
Debe solicitar la pérdida de impuestos a través del asesor del condado. No otorgan automáticamente crédito a los propietarios. No asuma que el asesor le dará una cantidad justa de pérdida de impuestos. El valor de la tierra se reducirá drásticamente debido a los contaminantes y productos quÃmicos del incendio. Reconstruiremos, pero ciertas áreas que fueron destruidas pueden reducir el valor de la tierra debido al evento y el estigma.
6. La solicitud debe ser presentada por la persona que era dueña de la propiedad dañada en la fecha de embargo (1 de enero) y quien será responsable de los impuestos a la propiedad para el próximo año fiscal.
7. El daño debe haber ocurrido debido a una desgracia o calamidad sin culpa del propietario.
8. Debe presentar su solicitud dentro de los 12 meses a partir de la fecha en que ocurrió el desastre o dentro de los 60 dÃas posteriores a la fecha en que se le envió por correo un formulario de solicitud de la Oficina del Asesor.
9. El daño debe exceder $ 10,000 en pérdida de valor.
Puedo enviarte un correo electrónico o un pdf del formulario o ayudarte a completarlo. Necesita la dirección y el número de APN disponibles en la búsqueda del sitio web de impuestos del condado. NO subestimes los costos. El costo de construcción para reconstruir figuras en áreas de alto costo es de $ 400 a $ 440 por pie cuadrado. Es posible que algunas propiedades no se puedan reconstruir del mismo modo. Algunas propiedades en los condados rurales de Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma y Yuba pueden ser más caras de reconstruir.
Tenga cuidado de dar a los contratistas un gran dinero por adelantado. Los contratistas serán estresados al máximo financiero y cobrarán tarifas más altas para completar el trabajo. Los contratistas pueden asumir más trabajo de lo que pueden razonablemente terminar con los plazos. El tiempo cuesta dinero. Su ajustador de seguro no es su amigo. Cinta de video, fotos de teléfonos celulares y guárdelo todo en la nube: google cloud, o iphone cloud o lo que tenga, envÃe un correo electrónico a usted y guárdelo.
Haga listas de todo lo que cree que perdió y consulte a otras personas: niños, amigos, familiares que pueden recordar artÃculos en su hogar. También pueden tener fotografÃas de la casa durante las vacaciones, compilar estas imágenes.
EL FORMULARIO DE RECLAMACIÓN AL CONDADO DEBE SER ENVIADO POR CORREO antes del 7 de octubre de 2018 PERO se toman su tiempo para procesar el reclamo. Es posible que no respalden la retroactividad de su reducción de impuestos. Hazlo ahora.
Esto es lo que necesitan:
