Residents affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County have been given a deadline of March 10 to apply for individual assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This announcement was made by Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who emphasized the importance of taking action promptly.

During a recent news conference, Horvath highlighted that individuals have until March 10 to submit their applications for FEMA assistance. She also mentioned that applicants will have a generous timeframe of 18 months to complete all necessary paperwork.

Horvath urged those impacted by the wildfires to initiate the application process as soon as possible. By doing so, individuals can ensure that they are registered in FEMA's system and can utilize the full 18-month period to access the support and benefits they require.

The wildfires in Los Angeles County have caused widespread destruction and displacement, leaving many residents in urgent need of assistance. FEMA's individual assistance programs aim to provide crucial support to those affected by natural disasters, helping them recover and rebuild their lives.

Residents who have suffered losses or damages due to the wildfires are encouraged to apply for FEMA assistance without delay. By meeting the March 10 deadline and completing the necessary paperwork within the 18-month timeframe, individuals can access the resources and aid they deserve during this challenging period.
