Google and YouTube have donated $15 million towards relief and rebuilding efforts as wildfires continue to ravage the Los Angeles area. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan shared the news on Wednesday in a blog post.
These donations will go to Emergency Network Los Angeles, the American Red Cross, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and the Institute for Nonprofit News. Additionally, Google is working to provide accurate and timely information in L.A. through its products and services like Google Search, Google Maps and Waze.
Once it’s safe for YouTube to re-open its L.A.-based production facilities, the company plans to help creators and artists who have been impacted by the ongoing natural disaster.
