Please visit Recovery.LACounty.gov [ [link removed] ] for the latest resources on recovery.* Preliminary maps showing damage assessments have been posted but are incomplete and being updated daily.* If there is not a color icon on your address, it means a building has not yet been inspected. We will add damage assessments daily as they become available.

Every day, damage inspectors from LA County Fire and CalFire go from structure to structure in the Eaton and Palisades burn areas to assess the aftermath of the fires to structures, including homes and commercial spaces. The inspection teams are part of a multi-agency effort clearing the way for residents to return and rebuild.
