LA County Wildfires Claim Lives and Devastate Thousands of Homes in California
As we have watched the horror of the southern California firestorms unfold, CalChamber’s staff and members mourn the loss of life and property in the region.
CalChamber greatly appreciates the incredible efforts of all who have and will continue to selflessly assist during the devastation.
On this page, we have compiled a list of resources useful for employers and local chambers of commerce who may need ready access to information important to running their operations during this challenging time.
California is resilient. We know the areas of Los Angeles impacted by this tragedy will be brought back to life. We hope the resources provided here will be of some help in that regard.
