- At least 16 people have died in the Eaton and Palisades fires, according to the latest update from the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. The death toll is expected to rise as investigators comb through the devastated neighborhoods.
- Overwhelmed with an outpouring of generosity, the Los Angeles Fire Department has asked good Samaritans to please donate goods to centralized donation centers, rather than individual fire stations. A list of some approved locations — and what they need — is here.
- With thousands of evacuees expected to return to devastated neighborhoods this week, officials have offered tips on how people can stay safe when they go home to what may still be dangerous conditions, even if the fire is gone from their area. See those tips here.
- Both the Eaton and Palisades fires continue to threaten thousands of homes on multiple fronts. See the most recent updates on evacuation zones here.
- Officials on Sunday noted evacuee frustration at not being able to get to their homes, even if the fire emergency seems to be over in their neighborhood. They stressed that downed power lines, gas leaks and smoldering fires mean the devastated areas are very unsafe for re-population.
