fraudulent contractors and to provide citizens of San

WHO: www.HelpRebuildSanDiego.org was created by Steve Hundley,
a longtime San Diego County resident and businessman whose
newly-built Poway home was literally encircled -- but
ultimately spared -- by the catastrophic wildfire.
"With the increased demand for construction talent,
finding assistance quickly will be difficult," Hundley
said. "The purpose of www.HelpRebuildSanDiego.org is to
give those in need an easy-to-use resource to locate
assistance that can help them get their lives together as
quickly and effortlessly as possible."
The www.HelpRebuildSanDiego.org hotline number for
contractors is 858/613-5450 or e-mail:
