The devastating wildfires sweeping through the greater Los Angeles area are a stark reminder of nature’s unpredictability and the resilience required to face such challenges. These fires, driven by high winds and drought conditions, have forced tens of thousands of residents to evacuate, destroyed homes and businesses, and created hazardous conditions for travel. To those impacted—individuals and companies alike—we recognize your enduring hardships and stand ready to provide guidance, support, and resources to navigate this crisis. Together, we can work toward recovery and resilience in such adversity.  EKA has created a Wildfire Recovery page  on our website where you can find our previous updates with information on relief efforts.

New Fire Debris Removal Order Issued for Public Safety

On Wednesday, January 15, the County’s Health Officer has issued an order that prohibits the clean up and removal of fire debris and ash in the burned residential and business areas of the County until a hazardous materials inspection at the property is conducted.

Key Details:

• Prohibition in Critical Areas: Cleanup or removal of fire debris in Critical Fire Areas (e.g., Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth, Creek, Hurst, and Lidia Fires) is prohibited until an approved government agency completes a hazardous materials inspection.
• Public Safety: Fire debris and ash contain hazardous substances such as asbestos and heavy metals, posing risks through inhalation, skin contact, and water contamination. Improper handling can endanger workers, residents, and the environment.
• Examples of Fire Debris: Burnt building materials, household items, foundations, and contaminated soil.

Debris Removal Process:

• Phase 1 – Hazardous Waste Removal: Certified agencies will assess all burned properties to determine cleanup requirements.
• Phase 2 – Fire Debris Removal: State and federal programs will handle debris cleanup for property owners who opt in. Alternatively, property owners may hire contractors with prior approval and compliance with regulations.

This order applies only to fire debris and does not restrict the removal of personal property from affected sites. Personal protective equipment is essential for those retrieving belongings. Avoid handling damaged lithium-ion batteries, which pose significant risks.

Local Health Emergency

On Friday, January 10, Public Health declared a local health emergency in response to the widespread impacts of the ongoing multiple critical fire events and windstorm conditions. To help protect residents’ health and well-being, power air blowers, including leaf blowers, are prohibited until further notice. These devices stir up ash and particulate matter into the air, further worsening air quality and increasing health risks for everyone and their pets, particularly those with respiratory conditions, older adults, children, and other vulnerable populations.

City of Malibu

The City is actively inspecting infrastructure, clearing streets of debris, assisting with damage assessments, and stabilizing the area to ensure safe re-entry and expedite rebuilding. In a statement, Mayor Doug Stewart addressed a rumor circulating in the community: there is no permit for expedited re-entry into evacuation zones. Any claims or offers to provide such a permit are false. The City knows some residents have hired private contractors seeking access to evacuation zones. At this time, private contractors are not permitted to access it.

Damage assessments remain ongoing. Residents in mandatory evacuation zones are encouraged to visit https://recovery.lacounty.gov for updates. This site is continually updated with property photos as CalFire completes assessments. By entering your address, you can check whether your property has been evaluated and access available information.

The City of Malibu is also actively participating in the Disaster Recovery Assistance Center at Westside Pavilions, located at 10850 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles. This center is available to support residents navigating the rebuilding process. Additionally, the City has scheduled a Town Hall meeting for Malibu residents on Tuesday, January 21, at 6:00 p.m. at Malibu High School. This will allow residents to receive updates, ask questions, and learn more about ongoing recovery efforts.

If residents have critical needs such as pet recovery or medications, the City is working closely with Incident Command to compile a list. Please call (310) 456-2489 to provide information and specific access needs. For the latest updates specific to Malibu, follow the City of Malibu on official channels: Facebook, Instagram, and X: @CityofMalibu or visit www.malibucity.org/palisadesfire.

City of Los Angeles

The Los Angeles City Council has approved over 20 measures to aid recovery following recent catastrophic fires. These measures include a comprehensive recovery plan, expediting federal emergency funds’ arrival, assessing post-fire mudslides’ risk, and implementing new safeguards to prevent price gouging and evictions. Additionally, they address reuniting displaced individuals with their pets.

One proposal includes initiating work on a bond measure to fund repairs to existing fire stations and constructing new ones. Councilmembers Traci Park and Monica Rodriguez have proposed placing the bond measure on the June 2026 ballot. According to the proposal, the Los Angeles Fire Department has long struggled with insufficient funding to maintain its 106 fire stations, more than half of which are over 50 years old. Power: LADWP has restored power to all customers affected by last week’s windstorm, except those in the fire-impacted areas. This affects approximately 17,000 customers in Pacific Palisades, Encino and Brentwood. For LADWP customers who live in high-risk fire areas, if you experience an outage, LADWP crews may not be able to automatically re-energize power lines serving customers until it is safe to do so. LADWP will not re-energize power lines in high-fire risk areas until crews have patrolled the entire circuit. LADWP also has equipment affected by fire retardants that needs cleaning before they can re-energize these power lines.

Pets: The City has established a dedicated hotline for those who need help retrieving pets inside the evacuation area. Residents can call (213) 270-8155 to answer questions about their pet, its possible location, and its needs. LA Animal Services and LAPD will then notify individuals once they have visited the property.

Price gouging: Angelenos can now report price gouging by calling 311. It is a criminal offense to violate the legal price restrictions for goods, including consumer goods, emergency cleanup supplies, and repair and reconstruction services. These protections extend to housing costs, including hotel and motel rates and rental housing prices. Reporting price-gouging to 311 will support City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto and her office to hold bad actors accountable.

Free Hotel Vouchers

Hilton, American Express, and 211 LA have announced a plan to provide vouchers to people impacted by the fires so they can stay free of charge at Hilton properties. In a joint release with American Express, Hilton announced it is making 20,000 hotel room nights available at no charge to impacted people across the greater Los Angeles area. To be considered for the program, residents need to first apply to 211 LA for housing assistance using this application. Residents who have already applied through 211 LA do not need to fill out another application. Read more here.

Insurance Moratoriums

In response to unprecedented losses caused by current wildfires, the California Department of Insurance issued Bulletin 2025-1 (the “Bulletin”) on January 9, 2025. The Bulletin imposes a one-year moratorium on the cancellation or nonrenewal of residential insurance policies in zip codes specifically identified within the Bulletin that have been affected by the wildfires.

The Bulletin was issued under California Insurance Code section 675.1(b)(1), which prohibits insurers from canceling or refusing to renew residential property insurance policies for properties located in any zip code within or adjacent to the fire perimeter for one year following a state of emergency declaration. This restriction applies solely based on the property’s location in a wildfire-affected area. Notably, the moratorium applies to “policies of residential property insurance” as defined in the statute. This includes policies covering:

• Individually owned residential structures with up to four dwelling units.
• Individually owned condominium units.
• Individually owned mobile homes and their contents.
• Tenants’ policies insuring personal contents of residential units.

In other words, the moratorium extends to homeowners’ policies, renters’ policies, and policies covering the contents of residential dwellings.

The Bulletin specifies the zip codes subject to the moratorium, including areas impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires. However, these designated areas may be updated if additional neighborhoods are affected by the wildfires. The moratorium on cancellation or nonrenewal of residential policies is in place for one year.

Damage Assessment Map

If you were displaced by the Eaton Fire and aren’t sure about the status of your property, there’s now an interactive map available. The map is searchable by address and includes photos of each property. Each structure is labeled according to how severely it was impacted by the fire. Homes marked black suffered no damage, green are 1-9% affected, yellow are 10-25% affected, orange is 26-50% affected, and red is more than 50% destroyed.

Evacuation Orders

If you’re still displaced and aren’t sure when you’re permitted to return back to your property, Incident Command is releasing evacuation order updates every day at 3 p.m.

On January 16, 2025, the Incident Command Center announced Palisades Fire Repopulation. Please note only certain areas impacted by the Palisades fire will be accessible and access will be given to residents only.

You can check the updated evacuation orders and warnings here.

It has been a week since the wildfire began, and the devastation remains overwhelming. Our hearts go out to all affected in Southern California. EKA mourns the loss of lives, homes, businesses, and livelihoods that define our communities. We empathize with the challenges of evacuations, power outages, poor air quality, and the lingering anxiety this disaster has caused. We stand with those feeling disoriented, exhausted, and discouraged during this difficult time. We have created a Wildfire Recovery page on our website where you can find our previous updates with information on relief efforts.

Local Assistance & Disaster Resource Centers Now Open

The City and County are partnering with the state and FEMA to provide critical support for those impacted by the fires. Disaster Recovery Centers are now open and will operate seven days a week, from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. These centers can assist individuals and families with:

• Replacing vital records, such as birth certificates, death certificates, driver’s licenses, and Social Security documentation.

N95 Masks Available

The South Coast Air Quality Management District advises Angelenos to wear well-fitting, medical-grade masks, such as N95s, when air quality is poor, or when smoke or ash is visible or detectable by smell. To support this effort, the City of Los Angeles has made N95 masks readily available at Los Angeles Public Libraries, Recreation Centers, Senior Centers, and through local nonprofit organizations. Click here to find your nearest library or here to find your nearest Recreation Center/Senior Center.

California’s Wildfire Smoke Standard and Protecting Employees

With the ongoing threat of wildfires across Southern California, employers must familiarize themselves with California’s wildfire smoke standard to ensure employee safety and compliance. Harmful air quality from wildfire smoke can develop anywhere in the state with little notice, making early preparation essential. The wildfire smoke standard applies to workplaces where:

• The Air Quality Index (AQI) reaches 151 (Unhealthy) or higher.
• It’s reasonably anticipated that employees may be exposed to wildfire smoke.

Employers can monitor the AQI using the following websites:

• U.S. EPA AirNow website
• California Air Resources Board website
• Local air pollution control district websites or local air quality management district website

To assist in compliance, Cal/OSHA provides an updated list of vendors offering N95 respirators. Employers should also review wildfire-related compensation requirements and refer to the California Labor Commissioner’s Office FAQs, which address key employment issues during wildfire emergencies.

Income Tax Deadline Extended for Los Angeles County Residents

The income tax deadline for individuals, businesses, and trusts in Los Angeles County has been extended. Additionally, any payments originally due on or after January 7, 2025, will now have an extended deadline of October 15, 2025.

This extension provides relief as our community recovers from the aftermath of recent fires and wind events. It’s reassuring to know that residents and businesses in Los Angeles County have additional time to focus on recovery without worrying about filing tax returns or making tax payments until mid-October.

Currently, this extension applies exclusively to residents of Los Angeles County. However, the geographic boundaries could be expanded, as was the case with previous deadline extensions following flooding caused by heavy rains.

Mayor Bass Acts to Fast-Track Rebuilding

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued an Executive Order to expedite rebuilding efforts for Los Angeles residents and businesses impacted by the ongoing firestorm. She also updated the local emergency declaration to accelerate recovery as dangerous wind conditions continue to threaten additional homes. The Executive Order includes:

• Debris Removal and Weather Mitigation: Task forces will coordinate streamlined debris removal programs and mitigate risks from rainstorms, working with state and federal agencies.
• Fast-Tracked Rebuilding: A one-stop shop will expedite permits, bypass CEQA review, and allow “like-for-like” rebuilding without discretionary City reviews.
• Immediate Housing Solutions: The Department of Building and Safety will fast-track temporary occupancy approvals for 1,400 housing units in the pipeline.
• Advocating for Additional Relief: City departments must identify regulatory relief and state or federal funding needs within one week.

Governor Newsom Expands Special Legislative Session

With recovery efforts already underway to support those affected by the devastating Los Angeles hurricane-force firestorm, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the scope of the California Legislature’s special session, originally convened in November, to enhance response and initial recovery measures for the region. Governor Newsom is proposing a comprehensive plan that includes at least $2.5 billion in additional funding to bolster emergency response efforts, accelerate recovery, and support wildfire preparedness. The funding package prioritizes recovery and cleanup efforts, enhanced wildfire resilience, and reopening schools impacted by the fires.

The Governor’s proclamation allows the Legislature to consider and approve these critical funding requests without delay. Specifically, the Governor is calling on lawmakers to:

1. Boost Emergency Response Funding
   Allocate $1 billion to augment state emergency response funds, ensuring immediate availability for emergency response, cleanup, and recovery in areas affected by the January 2025 disaster. These costs are expected to qualify for reimbursement by FEMA.
2. Rebuild Schools Faster
   Provide targeted funding to offer technical assistance to local educational agencies in rebuilding and repairing schools damaged or destroyed by the firestorm, ensuring students can return to the classroom as quickly as possible.
3. Increase Preparedness
   Accelerate the deployment of $1.5 billionto enhance statewide preparedness for firestorms, windstorms, and other natural disasters. This funding will complement federal contributions, strengthening California’s ability to respond to and recover from future emergencies.

This expanded special session underscores Governor Newsom’s commitment to ensuring Los Angeles and other impacted areas receive the resources and support needed to recover and rebuild stronger than before.
