Direct Relief is reaching out to partners in the Napa Valley area following a magnitude 6.0 earthquake that hit early this morning, sending nearly 90 people to the hospital and prompting California Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency.

Direct Relief has been a long time member of the Business and Utility Operations Center, a public private partnership that connects private business and nonprofits for State response.
