President Joe Biden declared California a disaster area due to the wildfires and announced that individuals affected will receive a one-time payment of $770 to help with immediate needs. He stated that nearly $5.1 million in immediate aid has been distributed, with the payments intended to allow victims to quickly purchase necessities such as water, baby formula, and prescriptions.
