This bears repeating to those it applies to provide some feeling of hope of moving forward, rebuilding, and being able to pick up the pieces.
Insurance commissioner issues moratorium on home policy cancellations in fire zones
Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara has issued a one-year moratorium on home policy non-renewals and cancellations in the Pacific Palisades and the San Gabriel Valley's Eaton fire zones.
California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara has issued a moratorium that bars insurers from canceling or non-renewing home policies in the Pacific Palisades and the San Gabriel Valley's Eaton fire zones.
The moratorium, issued Thursday, protects homeowners living within the perimeter of the fire and in adjoining ZIP codes from losing their policies for one year, starting from when Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Wednesday.

"There are discounts in terms of no parking fees, resort fees for pets, and other things like that," Kasich said. "At the end of the day, we're here to help. LA is our neighbor. They're our friends, our family. We just want to do everything that we can during this heartbreaking time."

The fires create huge updrafts and then wind carries embers miles away.
A chunk of burning two by four can drop a mile away or more.

The donation sites I have seen included boxes of diapers, formula, new boxed shoes, unopened snacks, personal items, etc. Plus lots of water. I would rather grab those than wait for money to be dispersed. I’m sure many have no cars to go shop.

I mentioned Critical Role when I was talking about people 'not famous enough' for the Daily Mail to report on.
Here's a link about the show's filming being paused, but also about them donating and fundraising for fire relief.
www.polygon.com
According to Marisha's social media (which I can't link, because it was on IG stories and it's since expired) as far as they know, her and Matt's home is still standing.
However, the show's producer and his partner have lost their home.
I'll link, just purely for the source of the following quote, but it's going to be borked because it's a certain fundraising website.
www.gofundme.com
I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share that my dear friend and coworker, Kyle Shire, producer for Critical Role, and his partner, filmmaker Jon Sims, recently lost their home in the wildfires that ravaged all of Los Angeles. Their house was completely incinerated, along with nearly all of their belongings, but thankfully, they were able to get their 4 beloved cats out in time.
I think at this point, we really have just no idea of what a major impact this is going to have on the film and television industry. It's not just about that handful in front of the cameras, it's people on the crew, hair and makeup, drivers, craft services, special effects, set builders, costume, post production. Most of those people are not going to be living in mansions, they're going to be living in working or middle class neighbourhoods like those that have been decimated. They're not going to be able to pack up and just go to their other home, because that one that was burnt was their one and only. And while filming isn't happening, a lot of people aren't getting paid.

Due to the problem that resulted in at least two misleading alerts, LA County is temporarily switching to the State Emergency Notification System.

I'll disagree, maybe people who think they are above used items don't want anything but money, but in my area, if we are in need we gladly accept anything that is given. Used underwear or stained stuffed animals can be washed. As we saw in other catastrophic events, people took the money and bought designer handbags and TV/s instead of necessary items. I'm not above used items. JMO
