Glad to hear you’re okay! If there are any especially helpful links you think locals would benefit from that we could share/donate to, please feel free to share them

I have a few links to share. some are for general donations while others are for local organizations in need of material goods and/or volunteers that still accept monetary donations (i don't know how much of this fandom is actually in california, but spreading the information helps regardless).

Los Angeles Regional Food Bank - in need of financial donations and volunteers

League of California Community Foundations - with separate links to both the Palisades and Eaton fires (nothing yet for the smaller Kenneth and Sunset fires)

Pasadena Humane Society - in need of monetary donations along with pet supplies as animals are coming in with burns

MALA - updating spreadsheet with different types of aid provided from food to clothing to boarding animals

National Day Laborer Organizing Network - provides support to immigrant workers and their families that are impacted

LAFD Wildfire Emergency Fund - what it says on the tin

Project Camp - provides trauma-informed childcare for displaced families

and there's honestly so many more i could list, but hopefully this is a good start.

also let me reiterate: i am completely fine! the only thing i’m dealing with right now is worsening air quality. it’s literally nothing compared to the friends i have in pasadena.

Hello everyone. I am back home from my procedure for today and sound of mind once again. My area has just received an evacuation warning. I will continue to provide updates as the day goes on. For those in warning zones, please prep your bags and be ready to mobilize at a moments notice.

The evacuation prep poster is done! This poster is designed primarily with wildfires in mind, but the tips can apply to preparing for any much any disaster.

If you share this image outside of tumblr, please link back to my website: www.Katy-L-Wood.com

[[Image ID: A poster including a layered graphic showing what items to have ready to prepare for evacuating your home based on how much warning you have that you need to evacuate. The inner, red, level is labeled “No Warning.” The next, orange, level is labeled “Less Than an Hour.” The next, yellow, level is labeled “More Than an Hour.” The final, green, level is labeled “General Preparedness.” The items associated with each level and the text are included below. /end ID.]]

Evacuation Prep:

As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.

Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can’t rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don’t forget your keys.

Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.

Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.

Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove + Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.

Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you’ll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can’t do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

really depressing as hell that people are clowning around about these fires. especially the Eaton fire, these are normal neighborhoods, with families that have lived here for many years. it's not just millionaires vacation homes burning down. especially pasadena and altadena, many parts of them are historically black neighborhoods that date back to the area as an industrial hub in the early 1900s. and almost all the public schools in Pasadena are title 1, meaning they serve student populations at or below the poverty line. these are my neighbors, this is my neighborhood. and it's all gone now. Also!!! the news keep on rolling the same footage of these mcmansions on fire, but won't show the apartments (like mine) and small homes that are burning and gone. it's unbelievably tragic

The reaction I'm seeing to the LA fires on social media is DISGUSTING, have some of you no compassion?

Not everybody who lives in LA is rich or a celebrity or a CEO. We're people of all different backgrounds and incomes, and to categorize one of the country's biggest populations under "rich" removes all of that

Furthermore, hi, PEOPLE'S HOUSES ARE BURNING DOWN. DO YOU GET THAT?? THEIR HOMES ARE BURNING DOWN

It's not about whether they have the money to immediately make a new one (remember that majority of people in LA county do not), it's about the fact that their entire livelihoods are disappearing right before their eyes and they can't do anything about it. Those memories are gone in an instant

Even if someone isn't being directly affected, they feel it in other ways. The air quality is extremely bad, everyone is smelling the smoke and seeing the flames

To generalize all of this and say "well only the rich are affected" and you having no sympathy whatsoever for that is disgusting. Shame on you

❤️

La fire hot take.

Considering that there's a fire in LA that's destroying people's homes and lives, I bet there's gonna be scam bots pretending to be LA fire victims that prey on the hospitality of individuals just like the bots that pretend to be Gaza victims.

A More Serious Post: Evacuation Kits / Go-Bags.

Everyone should have a go-bag that they've prepared over time in the event of an emergency. It should include:

- All documents including IDs, passports, social security cards, insurance information, medical records: vitally include any documentation of recent medical procedures, documentation of any current legal proceedings, etc (or copies of all of the above)

- Credit & Debit Cards, cash, etc

- Medications (and clean medical applicators like syringes and such. If it needs to be kept cooled, I've seen people reccomend that the bag be kept within a few steps of a kitchen or fridge to be accessible to coolers/ice packs)

- Clothing (Three days of clothing per person tends to be a fair assessment. Typically add in a coat no matter the weather and a mask of any kind)

- Three days of non-perishable food per person per day. If there is a baby involved, include formula (EVEN if they are breastfed. Babies sometimes struggle to latch on when in stressful situations)

- Water. This rule of thumb is a gallon per living being per day for at least three days. Add an additional reusable water bottle for each being if possible.

- Animal/Pet Supplies (Pet food, collapsable litter box, backup litter in ziploc bags, poop bags, etc). Include Pet Medical Records if available

- First Aid Kit (which should be in your car anyway, but remember that you can't always take your car)

- Chargers for all devices

- Extra! Flashlight! Trust me on this one, you do not want to be relying on your phone. Preferably solar or battery powered but remember to add in extra batteries if it is the latter

- Basic Hygiene/Health Aid such as N95s, gloves, surgical masks, hand sanitizer, eye protection, saline, etc

THEN you add in sentimental items and valuables. Make sure you have thought about what items you own that you 100% could never ever live without and try to see if you can make sure they can be grabbed quickly if you are ever in an evacuation zone.

It is overwhelming and for a lot of people it takes time to curate this bag. You would much rather prefer to think about it now than panic in an emergency and forget something you can never find again.

Best of luck to all.

The fires keeps spreading….please stop spreading 😭😭 winds please stop already 🙏🙏

Being surrounded by fires 😭😔 its getting me stressed and very concerned.

I’m going to stress reblog, if I’m more quiet today…that’s why.

Praying the winds die down and the fires get contained 🙏🙏🙏

LA County fire outright said that they were set up for two major fires at once. Because that’s the record in the last 74 years. Two fires over 5k acres at the same time. We have two fires over 10k, plus two more that need attention to prevent disasters. There are four more named on the map.

We had 100mph gusts last night and the red flag warning lasts through tomorrow and Friday depending on the location.

This is not a purely climate change driven problem. SoCal always had a fire season. SoCal always had the Santa Ana winds. Climate change is a multiplier on this. It stacks the two.

Or as Newsom put it “there is no fire season” because it’s permanent now.

Also Newsom is a complete asshole, but he did take a second in his press conference to insult the orange guy, which is why I’m glad he’s on our team.

the mutual aid los angeles network (malan) has put together a spreadsheet with valuable resources for people affected by the ongoing los angeles wildfires and wind storm. the sheet is constantly being updated with resources such as shelter info, animal boarding info, addresses for distribution centers, volunteer opportunities and so much more.

please share this spreadsheet widely

Planet fitness is offering free showers, wifi, and charging stations to first responders and residents in the LA area who've been affected by the fires btw.

really depressing as hell that people are clowning around about these fires. especially the Eaton fire, these are normal neighborhoods, with families that have lived here for many years. it's not just millionaires vacation homes burning down. especially pasadena and altadena, many parts of them are historically black neighborhoods that date back to the area as an industrial hub in the early 1900s. and almost all the public schools in Pasadena are title 1, meaning they serve student populations at or below the poverty line. these are my neighbors, this is my neighborhood. and it's all gone now. Also!!! the news keep on rolling the same footage of these mcmansions on fire, but won't show the apartments (like mine) and small homes that are burning and gone. it's unbelievably tragic

The Eaton fire has now claimed 5 lives. Please, to those who are commenting on the situation without being here, please remember these are people lives and homes are risk 🙏🏽

If you are in an evacuation warning zone, please start leaving now. Fires are spreading quickly, and it may not be safe to leave once an evacuation order has been made
