Our hearts are with the Los Angeles community as it faces one of the most catastrophic wildfires in its history, with devastating losses, forced evacuations, and hazardous air quality. Tragically, disasters of this magnitude are becoming alarmingly frequent, underscoring the urgent need for resilience and long-term recovery support. While FEMA’s recent Federal Declaration will provide critical assistance for response efforts, these communities will require ongoing care and resources long after the flames are extinguished. #TeamACDC stands ready to assist with recovery, leveraging our extensive wildfire experience to help communities rebuild stronger.
