Topline:
L.A. County wants to hear from residents affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires.
About the survey: The county is looking for people who were evacuated, experienced property damage, used disaster shelters, became unhoused, attempted to volunteer, or went through other fire related recovery processes. Residents who weren’t directly affected by the fires can also share their observations of the county’s response to the fires.
The context: The survey is a part of the Independent After Action Review that looked at the county’s emergency response to the fires.
How to participate: The survey will be open through April 24. You can find the survey here.
