From a friend of a friend who's been helping disaster victims in LA.

oh and DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO THE RED CROSS!!

#lafires #losangeles #mutualaid
Just FYI: Groups in LA (every single one I've heard from) are completely overwhelmed with stuff — snacks, water, hygiene products, blankets, diapers, you name it. It's taking up so much time to try and sort and store.

Send money. Just money. The stuff is here. The stuff will be sorted and distributed. But they don’t need more stuff. Send money. Period.


Just a reminder that the dry season in California, when wildfires normally happen, is from May to September. Late fall and winter are crucial for filling reservoirs and building snowpack.

We cannot let the news media normalize this as a "natural disaster" and erase the normal seasonality of these events.

Only the beginning folks.

PBS: The #wildfires scorching the region around #LosAngeles are likely to be the most expensive in history. But future #climatechange-related disasters will certainly top them in cost.

"From the mixed pine and oak forest in the Klamath Mountains to the Mojave Desert, Sierra Foothills, there is not an inch of California that is not now part of this conflagration and it's true throughout the American West of course"

If you're trying to grasp just how large the fires in LA are:

"By Sunday morning, Cal Fire reported the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth and Hurst fires had consumed more than 62 square miles (160 square kilometers), an area larger than San Francisco."

59 of those square miles came from the Palisades and Eaton fires.

"The level of devastation is jarring even in a state that regularly confronts massive wildfires."

L.A. wildfires death toll reaches 16 as crews fight heavy winds to save homes, landmarks
The death toll from the wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area rose to 16 as crews battled to cut off the spreading blazes before potentially strong winds return that could push the flames toward some of the city’s most famous landmarks. Five of the deaths were attributed to the...

In inverno la California meridionale placa la sua sete con le piogge, ma le ultime settimane sono state insolitamente secche e si è accumulata poca neve sulle montagne circostanti. Le temperature da 2 a 6 F° superiori alla norma di dicembre, la vegetazione secca facilmente funge da combustibile.

I venti di Santa Ana insolitamente forti. Un oceano insolitamente caldo e una corrente a getto tortuosa.

I honestly can’t even believe this situation in and around Los Angeles. This is not the time of year for this type of stuff to happen. They had 98 mph wind gusts spreading these fires more quickly than evacuation notices could be effectively rendered. Yes I know land management plays a role here, but this is unprecedented weather for this region. The fire was so fast moving and so unpredictable. The people had to abandon their cars in the middle of evacuating. /1 #LosAngeles #PalisadesFire
