A presenter on the I Heart SoCal show said California Service Corps members mobilized on the first day of Los Angeles wildfires to stand up shelters, help people fill out FEMA forms and coordinate with local relief organizations.

The I Heart SoCal host described volunteers working "hand in hand with the Red Cross. We did in a big way, and also with the YMCA and with the the LA Food Bank," and urged listeners to "go to the website, find 1 that works for you, and and dive in because California needs you." The host closed with the site URL: "It's caservicecorp.com."

Why it matters: rapid volunteer mobilization can expand emergency shelter capacity and help residents access federal disaster assistance. The host said the corps’ early actions demonstrated how training and preparedness enable immediate response, citing shelter operations and FEMA application support as examples.

During the broadcast, the host said some California Service Corps members were "standing up the shelters, helping people fill out FEMA forms" on day one of the fires and credited cooperation with the American Red Cross, the YMCA and the LA Food Bank. The remarks emphasized volunteer coordination and public outreach rather than new policy or funding actions.

No formal agency announcement, funding figure or operational timeline was provided in the broadcast. The presenter’s remarks described observed volunteer activity and encouraged public sign-ups; they do not constitute an official after-action report or a statement of government policy.

Listeners seeking to volunteer or learn more were directed to the California Service Corps website cited on air. The broadcast did not specify the number of volunteers mobilized, the locations of shelters, or which specific wildfire incident was referenced.
