While the Dieline team is scattered across the country, at our heart, we have always been an online publication with deep ties to Los Angeles and SoCal on the whole—we were headquartered and had offices in Los Angeles for years.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking and devastating to see what is happening to the city we once called home. The raging wildfires are the most destructive to have ever hit the region, and the city is bracing for another day of extreme danger.

So many of our friends and colleagues have been directly impacted by the wildfires, so it felt only right to round up a list of resources for anyone needing them.

Also, if you have the financial means or would like to give blood, please donate to the American Red Cross.

Stay safe out there, and lend a hand if you can.
