Thank you Kate Marr, Executive Director, Community Legal Aid SoCalCal, and Diego Cartagena, President and CEO, Bet Tzedek - The House of Justice, for this insightful article.

Your discussion of the multi‑pronged partnerships among responding organizations, the breadth of immediate needs after the fires, and the ripple effects on other practice areas underscores just how complex disaster assistance truly is.

That services were already strained in the wake of COVID, and from rapid shifts in federal policy— particularly around funding— added to the challenges.

Your frank look at both the successes and pain points of these innovative partnerships will resonate and provide a great deal to learn from as organizations collaborate to respond to complex disasters in the future.
