LOS ANGELES, CA\u00a0\u2013<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Today, Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath will speak at the\u00a0Milken Institute Global Conference<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to highlight Los Angeles County\u2019s wildfire recovery progress, marking four months since devastating fires and landslides swept through the region. Los Angeles County has led one of the fastest post-disaster recovery efforts in the nation\u2014with rapid debris clearance, funding mobilization, infrastructure restoration, and a forward-looking rebuilding strategy that reflects a community-first approach to recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been four months since the fires forever changed our communities\u2014and in that time, we\u2019ve cleared debris, restored transit, delivered relief funding, and issued the first rebuilding permits,\u201d said\u00a0Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath<\/strong>. \u201cThese milestones represent more than recovery progress\u2014they are a reflection of our shared commitment to rebuild stronger, safer, and more equitably. Our communities showed up for each other in the hardest moments, and now it\u2019s our responsibility to make sure government keeps showing up for them\u2014with speed, with compassion, and with lasting solutions. This is a milestone worth marking\u2014but we will not stop here.\u201d<\/p>\n

In less than 120 days, nearly 4,000 fire-impacted properties were cleared through the County-administered Private Property Debris Removal program\u2014an unprecedented pace that set the stage for families to begin rebuilding. That momentum is already translating into action, with dozens of homeowners advancing in the permitting process. In Sunset Mesa, one of the communities hardest hit by the January fires, the first rebuilding permit has been issued.<\/p>\n
