Los Angeles Wildfire Resources
January 10, 2025
Our hearts are with everyone affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. In times like these, we are reminded of the strength that comes from supporting one another. Whether you’re facing evacuation orders, lost your home, dealing with poor air quality, experiencing power outages, or worried about loved ones, please know that we are here for you.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the brave LAFD firefighters and the dedicated crews who have traveled from far and wide, selflessly risking their lives to protect our communities.
The devastation of the wildfires extends beyond the loss of homes—it impacts the very core of individuals’ lives and their ability to feel safe and supported, and all too often, the trauma is compounded by the loss of community and routines that ground them. By standing together, we can ensure that all survivors receive the comprehensive community support they need to overcome these challenging times and emerge stronger.
To ensure you have the support and resources you need, we’re sharing a comprehensive list of resources, including evacuation information, coping strategies for managing stress, guidance for talking to your children, and how to be an ally to those affected.
You can also download our Los Angeles Wildfires Resources Kit, which included essential resources in English and Spanish to help you and your loved ones cope with the aftermath of the wildfires, including practical information on safety planning and psychological support, as well as information about how to talk about the wildfires to children and adolescents.

About Safe At Home
Joe Torre, along with his wife Ali, founded Safe At Home in 2002 to end the cycle of violence and save lives. Known for his 60+ years in baseball as an All-Star player, broadcaster, and Hall of Fame manager, Joe carried the burden of childhood trauma from domestic violence. This personal experience inspired him to ensure no child would ever feel alone, afraid, or ashamed.
Safe At Home’s Margaret’s Place program, named in honor of Joe’s mother, offers trauma-informed intervention and prevention services within schools, helping students learn about healthy relationships, leadership, and emotional well-being. The impact of Margaret’s Place program’s impact extends beyond the classroom, uplifting families, schools, and communities. Currently operating across 29 school sites in New York, California, Ohio, and two international locations, Margaret’s Place has directly served over 200,000 young people, families, schools, and communities.
We aim to provide valuable and accesible digital resources, including trauma-informed care, mental health support, and expert advice to empower those seeking healing and resilience.
We are safer, and braver, together.
