Following the devastating Eaton Fire that destroyed their Altadena home, Pete and Angela Mitchell, like many others impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires, are facing uncertainty and challenges in navigating the recovery process. Despite registering for FEMA assistance, they encountered hurdles such as a letter of non-approval and difficulties in providing necessary insurance documents.
To address the needs of survivors like the Mitchells, nonprofits in the region are gearing up to provide unprecedented levels of support through disaster case managers and advocates. These trained professionals will assist households in developing long-term recovery plans, connecting them with resources, and advocating on their behalf.
