Supervisor Janice Hahn Provides Update on County Response to Rolling Hills Estates Land Movement

Rolling Hills Estates, CA—Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, in coordination with the City of Rolling Hills Estates, is bringing the County’s emergency resources to bear to aid and support residents who have lost their homes in the land movement in Rolling Hills Estates.   This includes establishing Local Assistance Center, a new partnership with Airbnb to provide residents with places to stay, and plans for Urban Search and Rescue recovery efforts.

“Through no fault of their own, these residents lost everything, and they are just starting to figure out how they are going to recover from this tragedy,” said Supervisor Janice Hahn. “In the coming days and weeks, Los Angeles County and my office will be here to support these residents and get them the help they need. This week, we will open a Local Assistance Center that will be a one-stop-shop for specially tailored help from the city, the county, and the state. We are also reaching out to businesses and philanthropic organizations to see what help they can provide, and I want to thank Airbnb for being the first to step up.”

“As the City of Rolling Hills Estates continues to develop the most appropriate and beneficial plan to support impacted residents, the Office of Emergency Management will provide support and coordination across every level of government to ensure residents receive the resources and assistance they need,” said Kevin McGowan, Director of the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management.

“The entire Rolling Hills Estates City Council and I are incredibly proud of the tireless efforts of our City staff to explore so many avenues for supporting our displaced residents during this tragedy. Their dedication and creative thinking has opened up doors to fruitful partnerships, including other government agencies, local restaurants and nonprofits,” said Rolling Hills Estates City Manager Greg Grammer. “We also especially want to thank our County partners, including the Office of Emergency Management and Supervisor Hahn’s office, for their ongoing assistance. Our community needs all the help we can get at the moment, and the County has been a steadfast partner in securing resources.”
