As of today, major wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles County. To all those affected, whether directly or through friends and family, we offer our support, thoughts, and prayers. Disasters of this magnitude are often hard to comprehend, and those impacted by these events will feel the repercussions of the fires for a long time to come.
We encourage everyone to cooperate with law enforcement, fire departments, and other authorities regarding evacuation orders, requests, or instructions. These first responders work tirelessly to protect human lives from danger, and following their instructions could help you, your family, and your neighbors stay safe.
If you’re evacuating, remember to secure your home as best you can. Pack an emergency kit with water, medication, pet supplies, extra clothes, batteries, a first aid kit, personal identification, and other practical supplies. If you lose power, remember that water may still run without electricity. Also, do your best to secure perishable goods to keep them from spoiling. In times of crisis, we often forget the small, practical details that may matter later.
As a part of our clients’ lives, we care deeply about how events—big and small—affect them. Tragedies like these wildfires can change the course of a person’s life. We are here and ready if and when you need us.
Above all, we hope that those in the area are safe. We don’t know how long these fires will continue, but when they stop, we’ll be there to help.
