Emergency Response | January 2025
Los Angeles Fires
On January 7, 2025, several major wildfires, fueled by unprecedented winds and unseasonably dry conditions, erupted across the greater Los Angeles area, destroying thousands of homes and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. With these fires largely uncontained, resources are stretched extremely thin.
With at least five major fires raging across Los Angeles, from the Palisades Fire along the coast to the deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena and Pasadena, tens of thousands of acres have burned – including homes, schools, and businesses, forever altering these communities and those who call them home.
As unfavorable firefighting conditions and strong winds continue, the likelihood of more fires across Los Angeles remains.
Our Response
CORE immediately deployed an emergency response team to support those near the fires, where air quality is a major concern. With our headquarters in Los Angeles, we actively serve residents living in many of the impacted areas through our climate resilience and public health programs.
CORE is coordinating with local partners and government agencies to provide hygiene kits with N95s to shelters for unhoused in affected areas. CORE will continue to help local families long after the fires are extinguished and can provide them with debris kits, case management support for those who lost their homes, and other vital resources. We will rebuild Los Angeles together.
Response Updates
1/9/25 – On Day 1 of our response to the LA Fires, CORE distributed N-95 masks and hygiene kits to people forced to evacuate their homes, and to unhoused people. We have thousands more ready to be dispersed. Our goal is to serve the most populations impacted by the fires, including those whose homes have been damaged or destroyed, people who have been displaced, and other vulnerable groups that have been indirectly impacted by wildfire smoke.
