The most important thing you can do, however, is to not self-deploy to a fire-affected area, shelter, or other area where fire response or recovery is taking place. The situation remains unpredictable and extremely dangerous, and trained first-responders continue to struggle to get a handle on the fires. Updates on the fires, including evacuation notices and road closures, can be found at the L.A. County Fire Department website as well as the California Emergency Management Agency website. The best way for you to help is to be part of an organized response. L.A. Works, in partnership with the Volunteer Center of Los Angeles, has created an L.A. County Fire Response Team to be ready to respond to volunteer needs as they are identified. We have begun surveying the situation in coordination with emergency response professionals, and as a member of the L.A. County Fire Response Team, you will be the first to be notified when the call goes out for volunteers. To join the L.A. County Fire Response Team: If you are already a registered L.A.
