"Hi FLCCC Army
I hope you’re all safe and doing as well as possible. With the recent wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area, I wanted to check in and see how our community is holding up.
Sending prayers for those who have been so severely effected. It is so sad to see such broad devastation causes so much suffering.
If you haven’t been ordered to evacuate yet, get your phone and walk around your house recording everything. Open every drawer and cabinet and make sure you capture everything. Even a pencil has value during an insurance claim. And if you don’t have PROOF that you owned it, the insurance company will not pay you for it.
Evacuation Check List from United Policyholders:
If you are told to evacuate, please do so immediately. If you have been given a warning, you may feel overwhelmed deciding what to take besides the kids, the pets, your clothes. Along with sentimental items that are irreplaceable, here is a short list of important documents that disaster survivors highly recommend you take, based on their personal experiences. Important documents include:
√ Insurance Policies and Related Correspondence
√ Passports and Birth Certificates
√ Family Photos
√ Tax and Loan Documents
√ Stocks and Bonds
√ Wills and Trusts
√ Plans/Blueprints of Your Home
Prayers to those in harms way and a speedy recovery and rebuild to those affected. Sadly this disaster highlights the mandatory need for forestry maintenance. Particularly in areas prone to high heat and prolonged drought cleaning up the forest floor through controlled burns is a necessity. Many thanks to the fire and police department and first responders in their ability to mitigate loss of property and loss of life. May they all be safe.
We are affected by the smoke as we remain on Evacuation Warning. Yellow FROGTAPE on all windows and a good air filter such as Air Doctor (a local company), and also some type of ozone generator make the house livable. Finally got a good night’s sleep.
I’m about 60+ miles from the fires here in California. Air quality is affecting everyone in Southern California and probably those up North. Praying for all those people who have lost their homes. This is so devastating.
Recommended detoxing to those in the affected area–even outside the burning sections as the air quality will be affected for dozens of miles for quite some time. The air is filled with toxic metals and chemicals and the liver will need help in particular. Besides air purifiers which may not be strong enough for the level of exposure, eat a cleansing diet regularly and do pointed detoxing when the fires abate for quite some time. If possible have yourself tested for toxic materials so you know what you are struggling to eliminate and can customize your health plans.
Some great advice - thank you for sharing.
There is a great discussion happening about air filters, you may have something valuable to add. https://imahealth.org/forums/groups/public-forum/forum/discussion/air-purifiers/
