Washington, D.C. — In case you missed it, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) launched a one-stop site to access resources in response to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County.
The site will be continually updated as resources become available. It is accessible on Schiff’s website and through his official social media channels.
“Whether it’s help from the Small Business Administration or FEMA, or how to deal with your insurance companies, we want to make sure that you get the assistance you need to find housing to stay on your feet to get help,” Senator Schiff said, “We want to make sure no one is going through these wildfires or their aftermath on their own. There’s help.”
Affected residents can access the site at this link.
Background:
Since the Palisades and Eaton Fires started, Schiff has been working with local, state, and federal stakeholders to rapidly deploy federal response and recovery resources to Los Angeles County. Notably, Schiff pushed President Biden for the federal government to approve 100% federal coverage for disaster response and quickly issue a natural disaster declaration, which the President later did.
In addition to his efforts to bring support to Los Angeles County, Schiff has visited affected areas in Altadena and the Palisades, as well as evacuation centers across the county. During those visits, Schiff engaged closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, the Governor’s office, the California Office of Emergency Services, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, the Red Cross, and as a variety of other government, non-profit, and private sector partners.
