Where to find help, shelter and resources for those affected by Los Angeles fires

As of Wednesday morning, the Palisades Fire has already burned more than 5,000 acres, while the Eaton Fire has destroyed 2,227 and the Hurst Fire has affected 500 acres. 

Through a combination of dry conditions and powerful winds, various parts of  Los Angeles County are considered danger zones and many neighborhoods have been asked to evacuate.  

Here are some resources that CALÒ News has gathered for anyone in need.
