The centers are described as one-stop shops where residents and business owners can get information about services and assistance they can access through local and state agencies or nonprofit groups.


Among the resources available will be assistance with insurance claims, property cleanup procedures, replacing vital records and rebuilding assistance.

"My heart goes out to everyone that is struggling with loss," Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said in a statement. "It can feel overwhelming and it's common to not know where to start. I encourage anyone who has been impacted by the Bridge Fire to visit our L.A. County Local Assistance Center. You'll find helpful recovery resources, including supports for debris removal and rebuilding permits. Recovery is a long road, but our county stands tall and ready to help."

The Los Angeles County center will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at the Fairplex, 1101 W. McKinley Ave. in Pomona, in Expo Hall 8. Residents should enter through Gate 3.

The San Bernardino County center will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Monday, located at Cal State San Bernardino, 5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino.
