My heart goes out to everyone in the Los Angeles area as they deal with multiple wildfires and horrifyingly high winds and dry conditions. I’m going to share resources below and want to first say: MASKS ARE NECESSARY to protect lungs against wildfire smoke! I’ve been ordering from BonaFide Masks for years. High quality and reasonable prices. 25% off orders through January + free ground shipping.
1.14.24 UPDATE: N95 MASKS ARE AVAILABLE AT ALL LOS ANGELES PUBLIC LIBRARY LOCATIONS. Go HERE to find a library near you.
PLEASE AMPLIFY & SHARE THE FOLLOWING INFO:
Kelly Hayes shared the following (plus more info at link):
- Mutual Aid LA Network is maintaining a spreadsheet of resources for people affected by the fires. The list is being updated continuously with new resources and calls for volunteers and donations. Please consider uplifting this resource on social media. (And if your faith in humanity needs a boost, be sure to have a look at the spreadsheet and appreciate all of the ways people in LA are supporting each other right now.) You can donate to MALAN here.
People vs Fossil Fuels shared the following resources:
- Food Banks Near You
- Mutual Aid Resources
- Temporary housing and other services for LA residents
- Wildfire Recovery Fund
- Medical Assistance Relief Fund
- Canine Rescue Club
- Request & Donate Gear
- Disaster Relief and Emergency Response Program
- Confronting the Wildfire Crisis
- Wildfire Relief from American Red Cross
- California State Recover Resources
- Wildfire Tracker

This is a climate emergency! We must halt the development of fossil fuels and make a just transition to renewable energy. Our very existence is at stake.

Thanks very much for sharing this info, Tracy. What’s happening here in Los Angeles is not normal. Around four this afternoon, I was jolted by an Evacuation Warning for our area which was intended for another area under attack.

Another friend in LA just let me know five of his friends have lost their homes. It’s heartbreaking. Take good care of yourself.
