(County list of emergency vendors)…To respond in times of need.

With support from the Imperial Valley Business Recovery Task Force, Imperial County has launched an effort to build a list of local businesses willing and able to respond to emergencies, as has been experienced through the COVID 19 pandemic and the June 28 fire in Niland. Since the CORONVIRUS began to spread in Imperial Valley in March, a number of local businesses have responded to the county’s need for emergency vendors in what has proven to be a mutually beneficial effort. To help seek more businesses for inclusion on the county’s emergency procurement list, the county enlisted the aid of the Imperial Valley Business Recovery Task Force, a group of business resource agencies, formed to support business in the wake of the pandemic. Emails have been sent countywide to businesses seeking interest in serving as an emergency vendor and providing information and a form on how to join the county’s procurement list. For questions concerning this effort, contact Katie Luna at the Brawley Chamber of Commerce, call 760 344 3160.
