18 Things Natural Disaster Survivors Want Those Affected By The LA Fires To Know
Briefly

"My best insurance advice for anyone who has to itemize is to sit with anyone who is familiar with the house and think through each room. Different people will remember different items, and it can be really useful when your brain is in trauma mode." - Marlee, Colorado Springs, CO
"I had to evacuate from my hometown twice due to wildfires when I was growing up. As a kid, it can be frightening not knowing what'll happen to your home when you're away from it, particularly if it's a place you're really attached to. If you have kids you're bringing with you when you evacuate, try your hardest to bring some items that can comfort them and remind them of home." - Ash, New Mexico
"They weren't family, but I was grateful we had other people to talk to and bond with, who knew exactly what one another were going through. If there is another family or group of people you can leave with, do it." - Ash, New Mexico
