What are Resources for those impacted by the LA Wildfires?
The current wildfires raging throughout much of Los Angeles rank among the worst in Californian history. The Palisades and Eaton Fires alone, which are only continuing to burn since they were first detected ten days ago, have already destroyed an estimated 14,800 structures, taken the lives of at least 28 people, and scorched nearly 40,000 acres of land. Over 100,000 residents have been forced to evacuate from their homes. In these trying times, the Los Angeles community, along with much of the nation, has rallied to provide support and aid to those affected. This blog post will provide a brief overview of some of the many available resources to Angelenos.
