The California Department of Education has compiled resources for schools, families and students impacted by the 2025 California wildfires. The resources include crisis hotlines, school disaster and emergency management plans, information on J-13A forms and much more.

Wildfires are scary and can turn life upside down for a bit. Families may lose homes, schools, or
routines, and it’s natural for young people (and adults) to feel upset or overwhelmed. But with
the right support, young people can bounce back and grow stronger. Caregivers play a big role in
helping children through tough times by modeling positive coping skills and providing love and
stability.

Here’s how you can help your child cope and build resilience during and after a wildfire.
