Los Angeles Wildfire Resources

In the aftermath of the Los Angeles fires, many communities are grappling with the trauma of displacement, loss, and overwhelming uncertainty. The devastation goes beyond the loss of homes, impacting the very core of individuals’ lives—shaking their sense of safety and identity. This trauma is often compounded by the loss of community, routines, and rituals that provide grounding, especially for children, who are among the most vulnerable.

In times like these, the strength of community and collective resilience becomes our greatest asset. They reinforce the urgency of our mission: to create a world where every home is safe. We stand in solidarity with all who have experienced the loss of a safe place, reaffirming our commitment to a future free from harm.

To support you during this challenging time, we’ve created a Hope & Healing Workbook in both English and Spanish. This resource offers practical guidance for youth, parents, caregivers, and educators as they navigate the aftermath of the fires. The workbook includes worksheets, activities, and exercises focused on safety planning, emotional support, and tips for discussing resilience and coping strategies with children.

Additionally, we are providing the Los Angeles Wildfires Resources Kit, also available in English and Spanish. It includes essential resources on safety planning, psychological support, and advice on how to talk to children and adolescents about the fires.

You can find a comprehensive list of resources below, which includes evacuation information, stress management strategies, and guidance on being an ally to those affected.

Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the brave LAFD firefighters and all the dedicated crews who have traveled from near and far, selflessly risking their lives to protect our communities.

Please stay safe, and email contact@joetorre.org for further assistance.

We are safer, and braver, together.
