What does it mean to rebuild after disaster?
That depends on who you ask.
For some people, it’s rebuilding homes that were destroyed in the Eaton or Palisades fires. For others, it’s living in those destroyed communities, either having never left or just recently returned.
Some people might have moved away altogether to rebuild their lives, and others are still moving from place to place, waiting to return home.
Rebuilding your home, community and life can mean so many things. LAist wants to showcase the different ways L.A. residents are experiencing it through a community-centered photo project.
So, what does rebuilding look like for you?
