The article discusses the formation of the Department of Angels, a coalition led by Evan Spiegel and Miguel Santana, focusing on aiding homeowners and businesses in Southern California affected by recent wildfires. This group aims to engage with the local communities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades to shape their reconstruction visions. The initiative joins other efforts from high-profile figures like Rick Caruso to tackle one of the costliest reconstruction efforts in U.S. history, highlighting the necessity for cooperation among multiple organizations despite potential rivalries.
"What's the famous saying? It's amazing how much can get done if you don't care who gets the credit," said Spiegel, who said the fires had displaced more than 150 Snap Inc. employees.
"This is an all-hands-on-deck moment," added Santana, emphasizing the urgency for collaboration among various recovery initiatives.
