Altadena, CA – Federal and state recovery efforts are ongoing for survivors of the devastating Eaton Fire, which began over three weeks ago and has had a profound impact on the local community. As the recovery progresses, a designated recovery site in Altadena remains open to provide essential support for those affected.
The recovery site is located at 730 E. Altadena Drive and will continue to host representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the U.S. Small Business Administration for fire survivors. Operating hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., allowing residents to seek assistance in rebuilding their lives and homes.
The Altadena recovery site was opened on January 27, which was just 20 days after the Eaton Fire began raging through the area. This catastrophic fire has led to unimaginable loss, reporting 19 fatalities, scorching over 14,000 acres of land, and resulting in the destruction of more than 9,000 structures. In addition to the immediate devastation, the fire prompted mass evacuations throughout the affected region.
Despite the West Los Angeles One Stop Rebuilding Center at 1828 Sawtelle Blvd. discontinuing its FEMA operations due to a decrease in demand for walk-in services, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and the U.S. Small Business Administration will continue to operate there, ensuring ongoing assistance remains available.
For those unable to visit the recovery site in person, FEMA support is accessible online at DisasterAssistance.gov or through the helpline at 800-621-3362, operating daily from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. These resources provide crucial support for survivors as they navigate the recovery process.
Moreover, FEMA’s Disaster Case Management Program will assist survivors over the long term by connecting them with case managers who will address unmet recovery needs. Those interested in determining their eligibility for assistance can call 833-775-3267 for guidance.
This update on community recovery efforts highlights the continued support available to those impacted by the Eaton Fire. With federal and state assistance programs still active, the community is slowly rebuilding amid the tragedy. Disaster response efforts remain crucial in assisting residents and facilitating the recovery to help them regain a sense of normalcy.
As recovery efforts progress, the determination of the Altadena community shines through the challenges they have faced. With accessible resources, survivor networks, and ongoing federal assistance, the commitment to rebuilding and healing remains strong.
