ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are many resources available for help. Californians can go to CA.gov/LAfires – a hub for information and resources from state, local and federal government.
Pena Construction Services, Inc. (“PCS”) is a family-owned business that has been at the forefront of these disasters. In past emergency situations, we were equipped to offer our assistance with hazmat clean up and demolition services. This year, we are working with developers in disaster areas to offer our expertise. We are equipped and staffed to offer assistance quickly and efficiently.
If you have been impacted by the fires, please contact us if we can offer you any assistance.
Two FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers will open tomorrow in Los Angeles County to assist Californians who experienced damage to their primary home, personal property loss or have disaster-caused emergency needs related to the wildfires. At the center, people can get help applying for federal assistance, speak to representatives from state and federal agencies, receive updates on their FEMA application for assistance and learn about the appeals process.
The centers open Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. PST. After Tuesday, Jan. 14, the hours and locations will be as follows:
UCLA Research Park West
10850 West Pico Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90064
Hours of operation – Daily: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Pasadena City College Community Education Center
3035 East Foothill Blvd.
Pasadena, CA 91106
Hours of operation – Daily: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
FEMA financial assistance may include money for basic home repairs, personal property losses or other uninsured, disaster-related needs such as childcare, transportation, medical needs, funeral, or dental expenses.
It is not necessary to go to a center to apply for FEMA assistance. The fastest way to apply is online at DisasterAssistance.gov or via the FEMA app. You may also call 1-800-621-3362. If you use a relay service, such as video relay, captioned telephone, or other service, give FEMA your number for that service.
Los Angeles County survivors who register for FEMA assistance will receive a decision letter by mail or on their DisasterAssistance.gov account. If the letter says you are “not approved” for some categories of assistance, it does not mean you have been denied assistance.
