Wildfire Updates
As wildfires continue to impact our communities, LAist, PBS SoCal, KCRW, and CalMatters have come together to deliver free, reliable local news and updates. Daily to start. Less frequent as conditions improve.
Wildfire Updates is a new newsletter from LAist, PBS SoCal, KCRW and CalMatters that helps Southern Californians make sense of our catastrophic wildfires.
LAist’s Wildfire Coverage
-
As first responders work to put out the Palisades and Eaton fires, colleges across Greater L.A. have set up relief funds to provide support for students, faculty, and staff. -
Wildfire smoke causes particularly dangerous air quality, especially for sensitive groups including children and pregnant people. -
The restaurant community has stepped up after the fires. A (growing) list of places across the city are providing support. -
The Air Quality Index measures particles in the air, but not how toxic they are, experts say. -
The allegedly offenses took place in the Palisades and Eaton fire areas, prosecutors say. -
The region already had a severe shortage of affordable housing. With thousands of families displaced by fires, it’s now even worse.
