My company, @Cosmicbuildings builds sustainable and resilient homes. We're in the middle of rebuilding homes devastated in previous California fires and given the Los Angeles fire natural disaster and the number of people affected, we've created a helpline so that we can share the latest learnings and help people navigate the flurry of information and newly introduced state relief measures.
Watching the wildfires sweep through Los Angeles has been devastating. Thousands of families displaced, countless homes destroyed—including those of some of my close friends. For me, this isn’t just a distant tragedy, it’s a painful reminder of my own experience of losing a home during the war.
Even after 30 years, I vividly remember the disbelief, fear, and shame that came from not having a place to call home anymore. But what I remember the most, was the kindness of a few people who showed up when we needed help.
Now, it’s my turn to help! I am here to be a resource and to help any LA fire victims rebuild their homes.
➡️ At Cosmic, we are committed to publicly sharing all our expertise in designing and building sustainable, fire-resistant homes. We have already helped rebuild in wildfire-affected areas like Sonoma, Napa, and Maui.
➡️ We will be deploying a pop-up factory to LA within the next few months to assist in building these homes, as fast and efficiently as possible.
➡️ I’ll be writing a series of posts to share practical advice beyond construction, to help fire victims return to their normal lives as quickly as possible. These posts will cover topics like:
- Share any and all learnings regarding insurance claims and policies
- Share any and all learnings for negotiating mortgage terms
- How to file for debris removal permits, and participate in state-funded debris removal programs
- Understanding new building policies like “30-day” or “like for like” permit approvals.
- How to test if an existing foundation survived the fire and can be reused
- Guidelines for building temporary ADUs on your property.
- Review California’s Rebuilding Incentives for building energy-efficient, fire-resistant homes.
If you or someone you know has been affected by the fires, please reach out to me directly:
Please share this post so it can reach those who need it most. Let’s work together to rebuild LA—stronger, safer, and more sustainable than ever before.
