It’s been a heartbreaking start to 2025, with over 80,000 residents evacuated, thousands of homes lost, and tragic fatalities in Southern California. We hope everyone is staying safe and alert. For status updates on the fires and evacuation information, please follow @lacountyfd for additional resources.

If you are wondering how to help, you can make a difference in supporting recovery and future emergency preparedness by contributing to CCF’s Wildfire Recovery Fund.

Using data from CalFire and the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index, our focus is on reaching underserved communities to ensure every dollar goes where it’s needed most and no one is left behind. The Wildfire Recovery Fund provides life-saving support: safe housing, mental health care, medical aid, infrastructure rebuilding, emergency communication upgrades, financial assistance, firefighter safety gear, and more. The fund also offers labor law education and immigration services for low-wage workers, as well as health education for caregivers and day laborers.
