As you’re likely aware, our region is currently facing devastating wildfires and severe winds. The Pacific Palisades community has been especially hard-hit, with reports of over 10,000 homes, businesses, and more lost. The fires continue to advance toward the borders of Malibu and Santa Monica with no signs of abating.
To the northeast, the Eaton Canyon Fire that began in Altadena is spreading east toward Monrovia and west toward Glendale. Meanwhile, the northwest side of our District is battling the Hurst Fire in Sylmar.
These events have already brought immense loss, and as District Leaders, we must act swiftly and decisively. I’ve received outreach from my governor classmates around the world offering assistance, and you may also have fielded similar inquiries or be wondering how we can respond effectively.
