Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order on February 11, 2025, to assist childcare providers affected by recent wildfires in Los Angeles. The order ensures they are informed about Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) and receive help applying. The Employment Development Department (EDD) is also offering disaster-related services to employers, including tax filing extensions and financial relief.
