Dear Neighbor,

My heart is heavy this morning seeing the devastation across Southern California, and my thoughts are with the families whose homes, businesses, and schools have been destroyed or are in the path of the wildfires ravaging our region.

Right now, my top priority is assisting people in my district impacted by the Eaton Fire to safety and supporting our heroic first responders who are working around the clock. I’m imploring everyone in the wildfires’ paths to listen to local emergency officials, prepare to evacuate, and follow evacuation orders when given. 

My office is fully committed to staying informed about the evolving situation and providing assistance where needed. We are closely monitoring developments and working to connect affected residents with the resources and support they need during this difficult time.

Please find important updates and helpful resources below. If you or someone you know requires additional support, do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help. 

Stay safe and alert.
