Rebuild Central is a one-stop clearinghouse for fire survivors who are looking to rebuild their homes using energy efficient technologies, water conserving methods and fire-resistant materials.

The California Center for Sustainable Energy has brought in a certified C.P.A. and Tax Specialist, Tracy Bolton, to help fire survivors get their financial life back on track. She will offer expert advice and information on how to file taxes, and answer any questions about money matters and the rebuilding process.

"If we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts. I think we should be developing every kind of alternative fuel that is available to us. That includes hydrogen to soybeans, from solar to wind. Whatever we can find that is going to help us clean up the environment we should be working really hard on developing."
