Governor Newsom launches public outreach campaign with LA Rises after recent fires

Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new public outreach campaign with LA Rises to support Angelenos affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires. The initiative aims to provide resources for long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts.

Governor Newsom emphasized the importance of community in recovery efforts, stating, “Recovery isn’t just about physical rebuilding—it’s about trust, belonging, and community. The LA Rises outreach campaign is more than a short-term recovery effort; it’s a movement to build a future that supports everyone who calls Los Angeles home.”

The campaign will involve partnerships with community leaders and organizations to deliver clear and timely information. It will also highlight individuals and groups contributing to recovery efforts.

Additionally, an AI permitting tool developed by Archistar was launched in partnership with the state and philanthropic partners including LA Rises. This tool aims to expedite the approval process for rebuilding permits for those affected by the fires.

In January, Governor Newsom introduced LA Rises as a unified recovery initiative involving public and private sector leaders. The initiative focuses on small business support, resilience building, mental health services, and unlocking additional capital through partnerships.

The outreach campaign will continue sharing progress on rebuilding priorities outlined by the LA County Forward BluePrint for Recovery. For more information on the campaign, visit www.larises.org or follow @larisestogether on social media platforms.
