Get Ready for Rain
Rain is in the forecast for the next few days and I urge you to take the upcoming storms seriously. The foothill communities will be at increased risk of atmospheric rivers, so please don’t let your guard down.
A flash flood watch is in effect from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. If you are advised to evacuate, please don’t leave it up to chance. We have learned important lessons from previous fires that it’s best to play it safe.
Phase 2 is Underway
We’ve officially moved into Phase 2 of debris removal in Atladena by the US Army Corps of Engineers, an important step forward in our commitment to restore the community. These cleanup efforts prioritize the health and safety of our residents and pave the way for them to rebuild their homes. Thank you to all the residents who’ve opted in so far. If you haven’t submitted your form yet, I encourage you to do so below. There is a map available that shows where forms have been submitted already and where they’re still needed. Additionally, there’s another map that lets you know what phase your property is currently in.
A one-stop rebuilding shop opened its doors this week. Co-located at the Altadena Disaster Recovery Center at 540 West Woodbury Road, this specialized center provides assistance to property owners navigating the rebuilding process, including permitting, planning, and other recovery-related services. It is designed to streamline support from multiple County departments and agencies to help affected property owners efficiently rebuild their houses, businesses, and damaged structures. The one-stop shop’s services are focused on assistance with rebuilding permits, including plan reviews and approvals, guidance on permitting requirements and zoning regulations, and no-cost consultations with building and safety officials from Los Angeles County’s Public Works, Fire, and Regional Planning Departments.
