The ongoing wildfires in Southern California have burned 27,000 acres across Los Angeles County and parts of Ventura County. These fires have led to the displacement of 100,000 residents and destroyed over 1,000 buildings. Firefighters are actively working to contain the situation.

CalFire is providing updates on the damage through its website. The impact on small businesses has been significant, as they experience losses from these destructive events.

While efforts are underway by government agencies to control the fires, financial aid and rebuilding plans are still being developed. NFIB California is closely monitoring several agencies for potential assistance:

- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

- U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)

- California Governor’s Office of Emergency Management

- California Office of Small Business Advocate

Additional local, state, and federal agencies will be listed as they announce their support initiatives.
