Site Migration
RAIN Rescue has moved from Google Sites to our new home at rainrescueca.org. Below is the full list of old and new page URLs, plus ready-to-use redirect snippets you can paste into the old Google Sites pages.
Important note about 301 redirects
The old URLs live on sites.google.com, which Google controls. A true server-side 301 redirect cannot be added from this new site — it must be set up on the Google Sites side. Google Sites does not provide a 301 redirect setting, but it does allow HTML embeds, so the snippets below use a meta refresh to send visitors to the correct new page. For search engines, also use the Google Search Console Change of Address tool.

Redirect snippets for Google Sites
Copy the snippet for each old page, then paste it into the matching Google Sites page using an Embed → HTML block. The snippet will instantly send visitors to the new page and show a backup link for anyone who has redirects disabled.
