A number of wildfires burning across tens of thousands of acres have continued to devastate the Los Angeles area since January 7, leading to 130,000 evacuation orders.
President Biden approved a major disaster declaration, opening up federal funds and resources for communities affected by the wildfires that have destroyed about 2,000 structures.
Evacuees are facing significant challenges; many are unhoused, lack transportation, and are uncertain about their return to what remains of their communities.
The American Red Cross is actively providing essential services such as meals, mental health support, and emergency supplies in at least four shelters for fire evacuees.
