Maria Shriver
Shriver shared Thursday that though she has not had to evacuate, her "area remains on alert" and therefore her bags are "still packed."
Thank you all for keeping those of us near the fires in your thoughts. Our area remains on alert. Bags still packed. So grateful for firefighters who are working to get the fires contained. Others have not been as lucky.
