The centers are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
County officials said the Pasadena and Altadena centers will both be open this week, however, the Pasadena center will close on Saturday, with all of its services shifted to the new Altadena location.
The centers are designed to be one-stop-shop locations for people impacted by the fires to access a range of services and resources.
A host of county departments are represented at the centers, along with state agencies such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Insurance and Department of Social Services. Federal Emergency Management Agency staff are also at the locations, along with representatives of the U.S. Small Business Administration and Social Security Administration.
