We have launched a dedicated page to provide LAWA employees with the latest information regarding the 2025
wildfires. This page includes links to official resources, updates on closures, the impact on operations, and
telecommuting options.
Our goal is to ensure LAWA employees have access to accurate and timely information to stay safe and secure during
this time.
