Relief after the Los Angeles Wildfire

In Los Angeles, Humanity First USA volunteers are still providing relief. The teams are in the affected areas distributing water and snacks and offering specialized aid.

Medical help: HF volunteer physicians have staffed pop up medical clinics since last week at the Pasadena Job Corps Center and with nonprofit It’s Bigger Than Us at a local hotel. In addition to the victims of the fire, first responders and volunteers are experiencing negative health effects of smoke and ash.

Under an open-sided tent people sit on opposite sides of a table. A woman on the far side reaches over the table to examine the arm of a person seated opposite.

A man wearing blue humanity first gear and a stethoscope puts a blood pressure cuff on a man seated under an open-sided tent. The seated man wears an orange t shirt that says volunteer.

Legal help: Humanity First USA continues to offer free legal support to help victims navigate the complexities of recovery. If you need a consultation, please email legalhelp@humanityfirstusa.org.
