Seeing the devastation from the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire firsthand, I can’t emphasize enough the scope of the damage. We’re on the road to recovery. 53 teams are on the ground doing housing inspections to get debris and hazardous waste removed to rebuild these communities.

If you’ve been affected by the fires, visit CA.gov/LAfires to access resources and information — including how to apply for federal assistance.

As we prepare for winds to pick up over the next few days, we’ll continue to preposition resources throughout Southern California and prepare for future risks posed by burn scars and winter weather.

I’m determined to provide Angelenos the tools they need to rebuild faster and stronger.

I just signed an executive order to direct fast action to clear wildfire debris across Southern California and prepare for the heightened risk for mudslides in burned areas.

The road ahead is going to be difficult, but we’re doing all we can to help Los Angeles rebuild and move forward.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Cal Fire: sated that “19,300 total Emergency Responses, 105 Wildfires, 40,306 Acres Burned, 13 Fatalities: Preliminary pending coroner confirmation
12,300+ Structures Destroyed, Damage assessments are underway for Palisades and Eaton Fires”

Animal Advocates through their Facebook handle said that: “During past fires in Los Angeles over the last 30 years we get no wildlife calls during the fires. People don’t start finding injured wildlife until a week or two after they are allowed to return to their homes on the edges of the evacuation area.

Sadly all wildlife that couldn’t fly or flee from the fires areas are dead because of smoke inhalation and the intensity of the fires.

Generally our voicemail fills up 2-3 times a day with wildlife calls. It’s totally quiet now because people aren’t outside walking, hiking or just plain outside.

In the meantime we are helping to coordinate care for evacuated domestic and farm animals. All of our volunteers are still safe. None are in the evacuation areas. Thank you for your concern”.
