The American Red Cross is committed to providing individuals affected by the devastating wildfires with safe shelter, access to food, basic health services, and emotional support. In addition to assisting those currently in our shelters, we will also begin providing financial assistance to residents who lived within the fire perimeters of Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, and Kenneth, as defined by Cal OES.
These current active perimeters can be found (in orange) on Tab 4 the Red Cross 2025 California Wildfire Disaster Partner Brief.
Starting January 15, 2025, we will actively begin outreach to specific individuals whose primary residences were located within these defined areas. These individuals are eligible for this initial Red Cross Financial Assistance program. For those we have contact information for, we will send an invitation to enroll via email, text message, or phone call directly from the American Red Cross.
