Small steps.
Clearer context.

Start with your experience

Note the location, dates and impact you remember. Separate what you observed from what you heard, and mark details you are unsure about.

Keep personal records in context

Keep original photos, videos, notes and documents where possible. Record when and where they were created. Personal records are distinct from official wildfire information.

Do not assume a property's location establishes benefit eligibility or legal recovery.

Choose the next conversation

Ask who would receive your information and why before any introduction to a legal service. An app invitation request is separate from legal intake.
