A FEMA Disaster Recovery Center for Angelenos impacted by the fires has also been set up at the UCLA Research Park (formerly the Westside Pavilion). The center will serve as FEMA’s central hub for evacuated residents on the Westside, offering aid to those who have lost their homes, businesses or vital records.
