2025 Wildfire Recovery Resources

Wildfire Recovery Family Assistance Centers

In response to January 2025 wildfires, the City of Los Angeles established a Family Assistance Center (FAC) ONLY for those seeking information about loved ones missing as a result of the Palisades Fire. (An additional FAC will be open for the same days in the City of Pasadena; see listings). 

At the Cheviot Hills location operated by LA City, Los Angeles Police Department officers will be present to take missing persons reports. Also on hand will be staff from the Mayor’s Crisis Response Team, American Red Cross, LA County Medical Examiner’s Office, and LA County Department of Mental Health.
