Los Angeles Wildfires Resources
From the mountains to the deserts to the sea, L.A. is our home. Our show originates from Los Angeles and while we serve a worldwide audience, we would be remiss if we didn’t lend our hand to our neighbors here in L.A. during this difficult time.
We’ve put together important information and resources for victims of the recent wildfires. While we trust that the information we are forwarding to you is correct and vetted, we are constantly updating this page because the wildfires are fluid and things move very quickly. But if you notice any incorrect information, please don’t hesitate to bring it to our attention so that we can make corrections.
