UPDATED Jan. 9th 4:00PM EST

One of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles’ history continues to sweep through neighborhoods, prompting tens of thousands to evacuate from areas like Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, Altadena, Santa Monica, and beyond. Currently, the flames are still far from contained.

Many Southern California residents and animals (nearly 200,000) have been displaced without warning. Residents not only face uncertainty about when they can return home, but also what they’ll find when they finally do.
