Return to your home safely
2025 Los Angeles Fires
Here's what you need to know before you return to your home.
Fire damage maps
Use damage maps from the Palisades and Eaton fires to check the status of your property.
Eaton Fire
View the Eaton Fire damage mapGovernment inspectors are assessing all homes in the fire areas. On each home, you'll see a photo and an icon with one of these statuses:
- No damage
- Affected
- Minor damage
- Major damage
- Destroyed
- Inaccessible (inspectors couldn't access the property to check for damage)
If there's no icon on your home, inspectors haven't assessed it yet.
If your home was damaged, save a copy of the photo from the damage map. You may be able to use it when you file an insurance claim.
Returning to your neighborhood
All areas are cleared for residents-only access. You may need an access pass to enter your neighborhood. You can get one in person at a Disaster Recovery Center.
Getting cleanup and debris removal
Cleanup and debris removal after wildfires is a 2-phase process.
Cleanup of hazardous waste is Phase 1. It's free, automatic, and happening now. The EPA is assessing and cleaning each property.
Debris removal is Phase 2. It's free if property owners opt in by March 31, 2025.
