Wildfire Victims Assistance By The Wagner Law Group

Wildfire Recovery Resources, State by State

Wildfires don't stop at state lines, and neither does the hard work of recovering from one. This is a free hub of recovery resources for U.S. wildfire survivors — national help that works anywhere, plus guides organized by state. No ads, no sign-up.

Common questions

Questions survivors ask

What wildfire recovery help is available no matter what state I'm in?+

FEMA disaster assistance, the American Red Cross, SBA disaster loans, the Disaster Distress Helpline, and 211 all serve wildfire survivors across the United States. Our free home inventory tool also works for anyone, in any state.

We currently have detailed California, Arizona, and Utah recovery guides and are adding more states over time. Even if your state guide isn't published yet, the national resources on this page apply to wildfire survivors everywhere.

Is everything here really free?+

Yes. Every guide, resource directory, and the home inventory tool is completely free — no ads, no payment, and no sign-up. It's offered as a free public resource by The Wagner Law Group.

Can a California law firm help with a fire in another state?+

The Wagner Law Group is a California firm, so its legal representation focuses on California wildfires. For survivors in other states, this site is offered as a free informational resource — the guides and tools here are meant to help you find the right local help, not to provide legal advice for your state.
