Our hearts go out to all those affected both within the industry and outside of it, and while our staff our safe and mostly not located in the area we want to share resources that we come across that could be helpful to those affected.
We will do our best to update this as best we can, but also know that some of the resources we are linking here are going to have evolving updates of their own. So make sure you follow guidance from local officials and trusted sources ONLY. If you see something erroneous in our article, please DM us on Instagram so we can correct it accordingly.

The Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (website) has up-to-date information on the fires and given it is a public sector entity will also be the most accurate regarding containment, evacuations, etc.
Mutual Aid Los Angeles Network (MALAN) is a great resource for locally based groups that support various causes, and they’ve started a Google doc with a list of resources that are being updated regularly.
MALAN’s Website
We venture to guess that many have already downloaded this app, but if you haven’t the Watch Duty App provides real-time updates on the fires and various incidents emerging from the fires. You can go to their website to download the app or visit your OS’ app store.
