City can go about their day.

So the Los Angeles Police Department, along with the other city family members in particular, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and Los Angeles Fire Department.

We have been working for uh nearly two months in planning.

Anytime there are thousands of people, and we've got more than 25,000 runners.

Our biggest concerns, anything terrorism related, active shooter, vehicle incursions along the route.

We're doing everything we can to prepare for those potential events.

Train professionals are standing by in case anything does go wrong.

But uh as we always say, we plan for the worst but hope for the best.

So we're gonna be out there hoping for the best, cheering the runners on, interacting with spectators.

We just hope everybody has a great LA Marathon 2025, the 40th anniversary.

Our number one concern is going to be the safe movement of cars, bicycles, and pedestrians in and around the route.

Our biggest concern is the medical aspect of this, both for the runners who are severely exerting themselves.

26.2 miles is unbelievable toll on the body.

Whether it's a minor medical issue or a more serious thing, we are standing by to help in whatever ways we need to.

We've deployed more than 700 personnel on the route so that the public knows that they're there to help keep them safe.

This is the first marathon I've finished in 10 years.

I did it run last year and had major FOMO.

So this year I was like, I have to be part of the weekend, and I ran the half marathon and hit my goalface.

This marathon is amazing.

I mean, the weather was beautiful, the course was so fast and fun.

I really enjoyed running through the city and coming back home because I live I live up north in Berkeley.

And so to come back to LA to see everything and be around my old people, it was it was a good time.

It's my 10th LA Marathon.

My buddy Miguel, dude, he's killing it too.

I've page leader, LA Marathon, my boy Miguel too.

Woo!

Let's go, baby.

It was great atmosphere out there today.

Just runners all over.

It was just an incredible exhilarating experience, especially after these wildfires.

I mean, what an amazing community experience.

I just had an incredible time.

It's part of just mental toughness and mental health, as well as having your body just moving and shaking and always being able to just do what you want when you want.

Sign up for a race, train, and have fun.

Well done to everyone who took part.

Mayor Bass joins city departments and community organizations at an impacted worker and family recovery center.

The one-stop hub provides comprehensive connections to help those hurt by the wildfires.

Two months after the devastation, the devastation and the grief continues for too many people.

We are here at one of our four impacted worker and family recovery centers.

We have four throughout the city of Los Angeles, one in Culver City in the Valley in Boyle Heights, and this one here in South Los Angeles, helping families and businesses, individuals who are impacted or displaced because of the wildfires.

People have lost their homes, but people have also lost significant income.

There's been people who have lost their jobs and their livelihoods.

We are offering comprehensive services from financial assistance to financial coaching.

If they are behind on their rent or they're behind on their utility bills, we're helping to connect them with those resources.

We're also, if they're a business, they're helping to apply for a business, a grant.

If they were displaced and they've lost income, we're helping people apply for their impacted worker relief fund and then also connecting people that are uh interested in other employment opportunities to the workforce development system to help them there.

So the youth development department is here today to do a couple things.

One is to help connect young people to employment opportunities.

We're also here to make referrals to young people who are seeking services such as uh access to mental health services, after school program information, homework assistance.

We can help them with that.

We're also uh making sure that folks are aware of our Earn Learn Play website where they can find out about the programs and activities the city has to offer through our 18 different departments that serve young people.

We had a session today with the survivors, people who've lost their homes, and they've talked about this being one of the most comprehensive meetings that they've been that they have attended.

You look at the census data and the information about what the community needs.

Somebody has to do it.

And it's beautiful when we can find a group of folk who are committed to meeting the needs, the relevant needs of families, from uh clothing to shelter to jobs.

So our organization, community bill, you know, we're a boots on the ground organization, and I've had a chance to look in the eyes of people who are hurting.

And I can do something about it, whether it's through influence, financial resources, or leveraging our corporate partners who have supported us greatly in this effort to help more people, and that's exactly what we do.

For more information, people can visit recovery.county.gov.

Although it's closed for regular activities, Pacific Palisades Rec Center has become central to utility operations in the neighborhood.

Residents who are rebuilding will get reconnected here.
