As Los Angeles recovers from its devastating wildfires, environmental engineers, urban planners and natural disaster experts are casting forward with visions of what could come next for neighborhoods that have been reduced to ash and rubble.

The Hughes Fire has now burned 8,096 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties since igniting late Wednesday morning near Castaic Lake, according to Cal Fire. As more than 400 firefighters responded to the scene, an air tanker and four helicopters attacked the blaze from the air, preventing it from jumping Interstate 5, officials said.

Contributions made to FireAid at fireaidla.org will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation for both short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters.

The FireAid benefit concerts are tonight, Jan. 30, at both the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The event will raise funds for relief, rebuilding, and fire-prevention efforts in the wake of devastating blazes across the region claimed dozens of lives and thousands of homes.

Inglewood venues the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome are holding twin benefit concerts on Thursday, January 30, featuring a lineup of more than 20 top artists.
