News and Media: Disaster 4856

LOS ANGELES –Los Angeles County wildfire survivors who need assistance can stop by a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) to apply for disaster assistance, speak with a FEMA representative, speak to representatives from other state and federal agencies, and receive updates on their FEMA application. Both DRCs remain open until further notice.

FEMA and the State of California are providing disaster assistance to people with disabilities and access and functional needs that were affected by the Los Angeles County wildfires.

Los Angeles County homeowners and renters who suffered uninsured or underinsured damage to their property from the January wildfires have a few weeks left to apply for federal disaster assistance. FEMA has extended the application deadline to Monday, March 31, 2025.

If you initially indicated to FEMA that your home was inaccessible or that the damage was unknown, you will need to update your application when you learn about the status of your property. Once you are able to confirm the status of your damage, update your application immediately via the FEMA hotline or at a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC). Missing or outdated information could delay your assistance.

FEMA may provide financial assistance for alternate temporary housing if you are displaced from your primary residence due to the Los Angeles County wildfires.
