In Memory of Marjorie Smith
January 14, 1937 - April 21, 2026
Marjorie Smith was a driving force behind disaster preparedness in the Morongo Basin & San Bernardino County, a leader within VOAD/COAD, and a familiar face at every effort to strengthen this community.
If you ever heard her ask, “What’s under your bed?”, you know she didn’t just talk about readiness—she made sure you were ready.
Her legacy is one of action, connection, and holding people to a higher standard of readiness.
We’re rebuilding our website to better serve San Bernardino County’s network of nonprofits, faith-based and community organizations, businesses, tribal partners, and government agencies — all working together before, during, and after disasters.
Our goal is simple: connect, coordinate, and collaborate — so help reaches people faster when it’s needed most.
Check back soon for updates, membership info, and resources for preparedness and recovery.
