Around 105,000 Los Angeles residents remain under mandatory evacuation orders, with an additional 87,000 under evacuation warnings. Many of these residents are uncertain and deeply concerned about the safety of their homes. So far, more than 12,000 buildings have been destroyed by the Los Angeles fires.
To provide clarity and transparency, the County of Los Angeles has published preliminary maps of buildings destroyed in the Los Angeles fires. There are four separate Damage Inspection Dashboards, one for each fire:
These interactive map dashboards display the latest assessments of damage to buildings caused by each fire. Individual buildings are categorized as Destroyed, Major (damage), Minor, Affected, Inaccessible, or No Damage on the maps.
Each map provides a sobering visualization of the devastation caused by the LA fires. Unfortunately, the extent of the damage is expected to increase, as these maps are only preliminary. Damage assessments are ongoing, with updates being made daily. If a building on the map lacks an attached report, it means it has not yet been inspected.
By zooming into a neighborhood on any of the maps, the dashboard automatically updates to show the current statistics within the selected area. These include the number of buildings inspected, the number of residential and commercial buildings, and the count of structures categorized as damaged, destroyed, or unaffected.
