Los Angeles County residents who have been affected by recent disasters will soon receive essential tools to aid in their return to their homes. The announcement was made by LA County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger on Thursday.
The tools provided by the county will include gloves, eye goggles, and debris cleaning kits. These items are intended to ensure the safety of residents as they sift through debris and search for valuables amidst the devastation.
Barger emphasized the importance of protecting residents while they are on-site, stating that the provided tools are crucial for their safety and well-being.
In addition to physical support, Barger also highlighted the need for emotional assistance during this challenging time. She revealed that the city's Department of Mental Health will be present on the ground to offer support to community members as they navigate the emotional toll of returning to their homes.
The initiative aims to provide comprehensive support to residents as they begin the process of rebuilding and recovering from the impact of the disasters. By equipping them with the necessary tools and emotional support, Los Angeles County is committed to assisting residents in their journey towards restoration and healing.
