Vice President Kamala Harris has once again stepped forward to offer her support to California as the state battles a series of devastating wildfires. In a statement early Wednesday, Harris expressed deep concern for those affected, saying, “My heart goes out to all those being impacted by the devastating wildfires in Southern California.”
She extended her thoughts and prayers to families evacuating their homes, as well as those whose businesses, schools, and communities are still in danger.
Recognizing the tireless efforts of first responders, Harris emphasized the bravery of those risking their lives to contain the flames and protect civilians. She assured Californians that federal resources have been mobilized to aid in suppression efforts, and that the White House is committed to supporting the state through this disaster.
Harris also urged residents in affected areas to heed local officials’ advice, stay vigilant, and evacuate immediately when directed. As someone deeply connected to California, she understands the lasting impact wildfires have on communities and families, and is committed to maintaining constant communication with state and local leaders throughout the recovery process.
This ongoing challenge has once again highlighted the urgent need for preparedness and collaboration in facing natural disasters. Vice President Harris’ leadership in ensuring federal assistance will be crucial in helping California recover and rebuild.
