Southern California is facing a series of devastating wildfires fueled by strong Santa Ana winds and severe drought conditions. We are responding. The fires have collectively burned thousands of acres, especially in Los Angeles County, leading to widespread evacuations and power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of people, including families, older people and those with special needs.
The fires have collectively burned thousands of acres, especially in Los Angeles County, leading to widespread evacuations and power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of people, including families, older people and those with special needs. Smoke from the fires has degraded air quality, creating respiratory issues and cardiovascular problems, especially for vulnerable populations.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, International Medical Corps is working with local partners, including LA City and County governments, in affected areas to assess the impact of the current wildfires. Our teams are prepared to provide essential relief supplies-including hygiene kits and first-aid kits-to support affected communities. International Medical Corps will provide additional healthcare and response support and services to health facilities as required.
International Medical Corps is headquartered in Los Angeles and proudly serves as a member of the local business community. As such we will work to bring our expertise in disaster response, which includes capturing lessons learned and promoting resilience to be better prepared in the future. We also conduct trainings with health facilities that serve in lower resource areas to better prepare them for future emergencies.
