IOCC Emergency Response Update: Los Angeles Wildfires

January 14, 2025 By Fr. John Peck [edit]

The IOCC is on the ground in LA. A gift to IOCC’s US Emergency Response Fund allows IOCC to mobilize aid quickly and effectively. Your generosity helps address immediate needs following crises like this one, as well as supporting long-term recovery efforts. Join us in helping those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles and consider making a donation today.

On January 7, a wildfire was ignited in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles that grew into a massive fire which so far has burned more than 23,000 acres. Another fire near Pasadena also ignited on Tuesday, burning at least 14,000 acres. Other fires have also broken out in the region, though their damage has been less significant thus far.

Emergency Response Update

Communication and coordination are underway with Orthodox dioceses on the west coast. Trained IOCC staff and Frontliners are on the ground and coordinating with Orthodox parishes in the affected areas to offer emotional and spiritual care (ESC), gathering information on local needs, and offering technical support to parishes who wish to assist their communities. This includes guidance on organizing and managing resources, operating as respite centers or shelters, as well as help in coordinating with FEMA, local emergency authorities, and other volunteer groups.

IOCC Frontliners throughout the country are also ready to respond where unmet needs are reported. Please continue to pray for those who lost their lives, those affected by the fires, as well as the first responders and rescuers.

Your gift in action.
