FEMA ASSISTANCE SoCal Fires Recovery
As Los Angeles County residents, especially those in the Altadena area, continue to recover from the devastating Los Angeles Hurricane-Force Firestorm, two Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) remain open to provide critical assistance. These centers offer wildfire survivors a chance to apply for disaster aid, meet with FEMA representatives, connect with state and federal agency officials, and check the status of their FEMA applications. Both locations will operate until further notice, ensuring ongoing support for the community.
