MySafe:LA delivers critical life saving initiatives to students, families, and older adults living in the greater Los Angeles region. We want your community to be more resilient to disasters.
We work with thousands of individuals and families in the greater Los Angeles area to help them become more aware, prepared, and resilient in the face of disasters. We establish Fire Safe Councils and NFPA Firewise USA® sites to promote safety, teach both bystander and fully-certified CPR to empower people to act in emergencies, and collaborate with HOAs and resident groups to encourage lifesaving actions. We've been dedicated to this mission for nearly twenty years, including supporting our first responder partners like the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
If you live in the beautiful canyons and hillsides of the greater Los Angeles area, you're probably well aware that wildfires can be a serious threat at any time of the year. The traditional "wildfire season" no longer applies because wildfires can occur at any time. MySafe:LA is working hand in hand with neighborhoods to help everyone stay safer and better prepared.
Our podcasts are designed to bring you relevant and essential information on various topics, from wildfire readiness and survival to home fire safety, earthquake preparedness, and much more. Check it out!
These are our heroes – these are the graduates of the MySafe:LA Junior Fire Inspector program. These kids have completed specific training in fire safety and prevention. They’ve inspected their homes for working smoke alarms. If they need an alarm, we provide it – for FREE. They learn what hazards to look for, how to call 9-1-1, to protect their pets, and how to practice evacuation and much more. What they learn can save a life. You, too can save a life by making a small gift via our donation page. Let’s make L.A. more resilient together!
You have heard it previously: it is not a question of IF, but rather WHEN. Los Angeles is on the verge of experiencing the next earthquake. The southern segment of the San Andreas Fault is overdue by more than a century for a significant geological adjustment. Are you prepared? Let us discuss earthquake preparedness.
The issue of homelessness in the greater Los Angeles region represents one of the most significant challenges confronting our society. What are the underlying causes, and how can we, as a community, facilitate the transition of homeless individuals into shelter so they can reconstruct their lives? Is such a transition feasible? MySafe:LA is actively educating students and neighborhoods about the complexities associated with homelessness.
