DRC
We took my parents to the Disaster Recovery Center at the Westside Pavilion where over 75 agencies are available to assist. It was incredibly helpful. The center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. I highly recommend it to anyone affected by the Palisades fire or dealing with wildfire recovery.
Fire Map
I am currently in high school. I would like to extend my thanks for your publishing of the interactive fire map. I have a grandmother who lives in the Palisades and her house has burned down. We heard the news and first saw a picture of confirmation on the interactive map on your website. This was very depressing as you can imagine but I think it is at least better than having to wait to find out. I am devastated to hear of the destruction as the Palisades is like a second home to me. I visit several times a year. Anyway, thank you for your support of the community, and I wish you luck rebuilding.
Palisades Strong
I love you Pacific Palisades.
Warning
A friend of mine who was parking in Santa Monica to get a parking permit for his temporary housing had his car broken into and they stole the little items he had left from losing everything in the fire. I’m not sure who at the city of Santa Monica can be contacted, but please tell people to be very careful with stuff in their car. Sadly this is how many of the Palisadian evacuees are living. His work computer was stolen as well as $2,000 of new electronics equipment given to him to replace what was burned in the fire.
