LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — In response to the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles this week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares pledged $1 million for disaster relief and to provide aid to music professionals who have been impacted by the catastrophe.

Part of the organization’s Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, the funds will provide provide both immediate relief and long-term support to individuals and families in the music industry who have been displaced by the fires.

“The entire GRAMMY family is shocked and deeply saddened by the situation unfolding in Los Angeles,” said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy and MusiCares. “The music community is being so severely impacted, but we will come together as an industry to support one another. Our organizations exist to serve music people because music is a powerful force for good in the world, and we hope the broader industry will now rally to this cause.”

“We expect the disaster relief efforts in Los Angeles to be extraordinary, if even just on the basis of how many music people have lost their homes in the last day. MusiCares is always committed to ensuring that music professionals are supported in times of crisis, and we ask for the larger community to donate for those in need at this dire time,” added Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares. “MusiCares can help with short term emergent needs for those currently displaced, and then longer-term services as we get a handle on the full extent of how music people are impacted.”

MusiCares also provided some handy links for assistance for those in need:
