The Audio Engineering Society is deeply concerned about the severe impact of the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles on the local communities where so many in our industry live and work. Over the past few days, AES leaders and members have been checking in with friends, colleagues, and their businesses in the Los Angeles metropolitan area to ensure their safety and well-being. The tales of tragedy are heartbreaking. Even those whose homes and businesses have thus far remained unscathed face uncertainty, life disruption, and potential peril. Our concern for our California audio community remains deep.
We recognize that the recovery process will be challenging for those directly affected and their communities. It is heartening to see our members reaching out to offer support and aid. If you are in need, please reach out to your local AES Section leaders or Regional VP.
On behalf of the entire AES,
Gary Gottlieb, President
