()The LA-area wildfires have ravaged homes, displacing thousands who need basic necessities, and several aid organizations are on the ground to provide help.
Over 12,000 structures have been destroyed in the Palisades, Eaton and Hurst fires that have devastated thousands of acres. Officials said there are 92,000 residents under evacuation orders and 89,000 under evacuation warnings.
“Repopulation will not occur until all areas are safe,” Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Anthony Marrone said Sunday, adding that some residents won’t be allowed to return to evacuation zones until the red flag event forecasted for Jan. 15 ends.
