The big need for folks is going to be winter gear - coats, snopants, boots, etc. and don't forget the kids too.
Remember, many many families lost EVERYTHING.
The City of Bethel is gearing up for an influx of maybe hundreds of people evacuated from the impacted villages.

Los Angeles, despite what its haters say, is a reading town, from its bookworms to its script-readers. It's full of great independent and time-honored bookstores that are almost as plentiful as the inspired authors this city has spawned.
