CF Foundation Compass helps people navigate insurance, financial, legal, and other issues. Dedicated CF Foundation case managers, who speak English and Spanish, are ready to work with those impacted, one-on-one.

Compass has developed a Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Plan that we encourage all those impacted by these fires to tap into for tips and support.

Compass is available to anyone with CF, their family, and their care team, regardless of income or insurance status, and is free and confidential. Specifically, Compass is helping people get emergency access to medications and medical devices that were left behind, lost, or damaged.

To contact Compass, call 844-COMPASS (844-266-7277) or email compassdisasterteam@cff.org.

Our team also works to get vital information and answers to common questions by connecting directly with relief organizations on the ground. In addition, the Foundation is in close communication with care centers in California, to help ensure continuation of care as those affected are relocated to other areas.
