According to the fires of Eaton and Palisades, Los Angeles County plays a central role in the recovery efforts, works in several jurisdiction and in coordination with cities, state and federal authorities and local organizations. The district has activated numerous Task Forces that deal with a variety of needs from the removal of ruins and temporary apartments up to infrastructure and long-term conversion and starting and starting one-stop permission centers and a comprehensive recovery website to manage the residents. With different conditions in affected areas such as Altadena, Sunset Mesa and the Santa Monica Mountains, the district follows a tailor -made, local approach to recovery.
The Chief Sustainability Office (CSO) under the direction of Matthew Gonser, officer of climate resilience, leads the effort to integrate fire resilience in the reconstruction of plans by participating in the Task Force for reconstruction and long-term recovery. The county is preparing one Resistant resource manual for reconstruction As a result, owners and design teams receive instructions for sustainable, Feuerwise building strategies, incentives and landscape design tips. Gonser emphasizes the agreement between the reconstruction strategies and the broader climate and sustainability goals of the district and not only finds that practices such as building hardening and defending space not only help the individual properties, but also significantly improve the resistance of the neighborhood standard.
Important lessons from these fires indicate the urgent need for clever planning and construction in fire -prone areas. Dera, not only flames, are the most common cause of building ignition during forest fires, structural materials and landscape design. Gonser emphasizes that in some areas new maps of the state fire hazard in some areas require stricter codes, others – as parts of the Eaton Fire Zone – may not be covered, unless political changes are made. Pre -movement, prevention strategies, retrofitting of real estate and coordinated plans in entire communities will be of essential importance to reduce future forest fire risks and to support long -term regional resilience.
