LA Woolsey Fire Disaster Recovery

Save to Favorites

LA Woolsey Fire Long Term Recovery Group is excited to begin accepting applications for volunteers interested in helping Malibu residents effected by the 2018 Woolsey Fire. This is a community lead effort to address the unmet needs of wildfire victims.

We are seeking volunteers who are willing to assist with construction of destroyed homes, providing wellness activities, distributing resources and information, and become ambassadors at our various planned events. This is an ongoing activity that is expected to take place over several months, so volunteers will be needed over time. Volunteers will be assigned to activities based on their skills and interest. Everyone is needed; Experience is not necessarily required.

The fire destroyed 1,643 structures, killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people. The fire started in Woolsey Canyon on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory property, a complex of industrial research and development belonging to Boeing, in the Santa Susana Mountains above the Simi Valley near the boundary between Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
