Governor Newsom expressed his commitment to supporting Californians impacted by the unprecedented fires, stating, "To the thousands of Californians who are impacted by these unprecedented fires, know that we have your back." He also thanked President Joe Biden for swiftly declaring a Major Disaster and making federal aid available to those in need.

Survivors can apply for disaster assistance through various channels including online at DisasterAssistance.gov, by calling 800-621-3362, or using the FEMA smartphone application. Assistance is available in multiple languages and accommodations can be made for those using relay services.
In addition to providing aid to survivors, California has mobilized over 12,000 personnel including firefighters and National Guard members to combat the ongoing fires. The state has also deployed over 1,660 pieces of firefighting equipment such as engines and aircrafts.
Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency on Tuesday and issued an executive order to support affected communities. President Biden quickly approved a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration on Wednesday at Governor Newsom's request. The state continues to receive federal assistance in fighting the Hurst, Eaton, and Palisades Fires.
