Rob, thank you for sharing those resources. Reading this brought back memories of when we were at Chiat, scrambling to help during the Japan earthquake. Back then, we felt we could do something meaningful from our office. Now, being home with fires just minutes away the urge to help is just as strong, but it feels so different—both more urgent and somehow paralyzing. Watching friends being displaced while preparing for my potential evacuation adds a layer of reality I never expected to experience. Your post is a reminder that LA isn't just a place—it's a web of connections, memories, and feelings, and we're all part of it, no matter if we are near or far.

Yes, 9/11 is the right touchstone, especially for native New Yorkers. I hoped never to feel that profoundly sad ever again.

Thank you for the info, please take care.
