Santa Monica, Calif.—In response to the devastating Palisades Fire, Post 283 has launched a comprehensive online Palisades Fire Resource Hub to provide critical support and information to those affected. The hub will be a centralized location for resources, assistance programs, and updates to help our community navigate recovery efforts.

“We designed this page to be a living resource,” said Post 283 Commander Joe Ramirez. “We’re committed to updating it regularly as we learn more about what our community needs during this difficult time.”

This evolving webpage will include:

  • Mental Health Support resources, including free therapy and counseling services.

  • Housing and Food Assistance information, with links to shelters, hotels, and local aid programs.

  • Insurance Assistance to guide residents through claim submissions and recovery.

  • Volunteer Opportunities for those looking to contribute to relief efforts.

As new resources and updates become available, the Resource Hub will expand to reflect the community’s needs.
