The Department of Angels emerged from extensive dialogue with those affected by recent megafires, namely the Eaton and Palisades fires. The initiative emphasizes the importance of community involvement in disaster recovery processes. Insights gained from discussions with disaster experts and survivors highlight that the key to effective recovery lies in the ability of community members to take charge in designing solutions tailored to their unique challenges. Ultimately, the Department aims to support and enhance these grassroots efforts for a successful recovery journey.
The Department of Angels was born out of hundreds of conversations with community members, disaster experts, and survivors of the megafires. Since January 7, we've talked to individuals directly impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires.
We learned that success or failure often turns on the capacity of community members to design and lead their own recovery.
Our mission is to serve that purpose.
