The Eaton fire devastated homes in Altadena, resulting in overwhelming stress for residents like Ivana Lin, who faced a daunting list of tasks to manage her recovery. Similarly, Chris Russo described her struggle to cope after losing her newly purchased home just before the fire. A recent poll showed that nearly 84% of residents in fire zones reported high levels of stress, while even those outside the affected areas reported significant stress. This illustrates the widespread emotional impact of the fires on the community.
The stress keeps you up at night,” said Lin. “You feel like you’re never done. We wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning. Do as much as we can. Fall asleep around midnight.
It's been a full-time job to manage how to recover from this disaster,” said Russo, reflecting on her experience after losing her newly purchased home in the fire.
