The mandatory evacuation of Lake Encino during the Palisades Fire has now been formally documented and recognized by the City of Los Angeles and the LAPD. As a result, the Chief of Police has issued an official letter and map, which have also been submitted to FEMA.

For any residents who were evacuated, this document can now be included in FEMA applications to seek reimbursement for eligible expenses related to the evacuation. There is a two-month window from the date of the fire to apply for FEMA relief, so those who intend to file should do so as soon as possible.

This recognition ensures that displaced residents now have the necessary documentation to access relief from government agencies, employer assistance programs, corporate-sponsored aid (such as Airbnb's reimbursement plan), and other available resources.

With this confirmation now in place, the Change.org petition is officially closed. Thank you to everyone who contributed to raising awareness and ensuring that our community received the acknowledgment and support it deserves and thank you to the LAPD for your assistance in resolving this matter.
