Resources | LA Strong: Return & Rebuild

The LA Disaster Relief Navigator

The LA Disaster Relief Navigator was developed by Better Angels and Imagine LA – in partnership with the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles and the Office of Mayor Karen Bass – to provide tailored recovery resources for all impacted Angelenos. The online tool asks personalized questions to create individual Disaster Action Plans that connect residents to government programs, insurance assistance, home damage remediation, temporary and permanent housing solutions, and community services.
