At a press conference, Bass depictd the level of destruction atraverse parts of the city as the aftermath of a “parched hurricane”, and pledged that city officials would toil difficult to shrink the bureaucracy livents may face as they begin to recover from the fires.

The Altadena post office was harmd from the Eaton Fire and the Pacific Paligrieffules post office was harmd from the Paligrieffules fire.

A filled enumerate of shiftd post offices can be create on the USPS’s website here.

Many aspects of life have been impacted by the California fires, including the ability to sfinish and get mail.

During this time, the Postal Service’s primary cgo in is to upgrasp the safety and security of our participateees, while ensuring that customers impacted by the ‘California Wildfires’ get their mail and packages as speedyly as possible.”

California state and local guideership and the Los Angeles fire department have been criticised for not preparing enough for these savagefires. The fires, while unpwithdrawnted, were not a total surpelevate.

Despite extraordinary cautionings of life-menaceening triumphds, fire officials did not order firefighters to remain on duty for a second shift last Tuesday as the triumphds were produceing and deployed equitable five of more than 40 useable engines, the Los Angeles Times alerts.

The department, the LA Times alerts, sent more firefighters and engines only after the Paligrieffules fire was burning out of regulate.

Newsom’s executive order accomplishes two leangs:

  • Makes unask fored underappreciated presents to buy property from property owners in specified zip codes of Los Angeles County unlterrible for a period of three months from the date of this Order.

  • Directs the Department of Real Estate, alengthy with other state agencies, to provide acunderstandledge to the unveil of their rights under the law, resources for more adviseation, and communicate adviseation for law executement agencies, such as the Attorney General’s Office and Didisjoine Attorney, with the power to execute the banion.

Those violating Newsom’s order can be alerted to the state attorney vague’s office and may be accused with a misdenastyor, which could be punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or by incarceratement for up to six months, or both.

California ruleor Gavin Newsom publishd an executive order on Tuesday to protect homeowners impacted by the Los Angeles fires from rapacious behavior, enjoy land speculators making unfrifinishly and unask fored cash presents to buy their property.

“As families lament, the last leang they need is greedy speculators taking advantage of their pain,” Newsom said. “I have heard first-hand from community members and victims who have getd unask fored and rapacious presents from speculators presenting cash far below labelet appreciate — some while their homes were burning. We will not apshow greedy enhugeers to rip off these toiling-class communities at a time when they need more help than ever before.”

In the year preceding the deimmenseating Los Angeles county savagefires, huge oil fiercely lobbied to finish a “polluter pay” bill that shiftd thcimpolite the California senate and would have forced beginant fossil fuel companies to help cover the costs of climate catastrophes.

Fossil-fuel industry lobbying in California spiked to record levels during the 2023-24 legislative session, and the polluter pay bill was among the most aimed pieces of legislation, a Guardian scrutinize of state lobby filings create.

The bill was integrated in about 76% of 74 filings last year from two top lobbying forces in the state – oil huge Chevron and the Weserious States Petroleum Association, the hugest fossil-fuel trade group in California.

Chevron and Weserious States’ filings that integrated polluter pay tohighed over $30m, although it is impossible to understand spfinishing levels for individual bills becaparticipate lobbying laws do not need a shatterdown. Others in the lobbying blitz integrated at least 34 of the world’s hugest oil producers, industry trade groups, and a range of greenhoparticipate gas-polluting companies such as Phillips 66 and Valero, records show.

The meacertain would have needd the state’s hugest carbon polluters to pay into a fund that would be participated to stop catastrophes or help cover spotlessup efforts. The effort to thwart it departs taxpayers for now shouldering much of the cost of catastrophes in part fueled by huge oil’s pollution.

“The tardyst fire shows exactly how Californians are paying for climate destruction, not equitable with budget dollars, but with their inhabits, and it shows exactly why we need … to put the cost back on polluters” said Kassie Siegel, an attorney for the Cgo in for Bioreasonable Diversity, which has lobbied in help of the bill.

The legislation, called the Polluters Pay Climate Cost Recovery Act of 2024, has novel life in the wake of the Los Angeles catastrophe, its helpers say, but the industry is already mobilizing. On the day after the savagefires begined, Weserious States begined an ad campaign proposeing such meacertains would force them to incrrelieve oil prices.

Fire-hit LA faces novel peril as dangery gusts predict

Powerful triumphds predict for Wednesday menaceened to whip up massive fires still burning around Los Angeles, alerts Agence France-Presse (AFP).

A week after blazes erupted and spread ungrasped, predicters foreseeed “particularly dangery” Santa Ana triumphds would spike.

“Stay conscious of your surroundings. Be ready to evacuate. Avoid anyleang that can ignite a fire,” the National Weather Service (NWS) said, cautioning of gusts up to 70 miles (110 kilometers) an hour between 3am (11am GMT) and 3pm (11pm GMT) on Wednesday.

Part of Los Angeles county and much of neighuninalertigent Ventura county were in a “particularly dangery situation,” according to the NWS, a summarizeation that was in effect before last week’s lethal blazes.

“All the set upts and vegetation is repartner parched and ready to burn so … fires can prolong pretty quick,” meteorologist Ryan Kitalert tgreater AFP on Tuesday.

The Paligrieffules and Eaton fires – both of which are still burning in places – could flare up, and novel ignitions could rapidly turn problematic, Kitalert said.

Officials insisted they were poised for any renoveled menaces, particularly around the existing burn sites, after hydrants ran parched in the initial firefight.

“We have checked the water system in the Eaton fire area, and it is opereasonable, nastying that we have water and we have prescertain,” fire chief Anthony Marrone said.

The renoveled danger comes with 24,000 acres (9,700 hectares) of the uplabelet Pacific Paligrieffules in ruins and 14,000 acres (5,700 hectares) of the community of Altadena awfilledy charred.

In case you missed it, here is a piece on the “convoy of incredible people” saving animals from California’s infernal fires:

Preston Martin figured the retro blue Volkswagen van he slept in for a year during college was a goner, given that he had parked it in a Malibu neighbourhood equitable before the Paligrieffules fire ripped thcimpolite, reducing homes and cars to rubble and charred metal.

So the surfboard producer was stunned to discover that the vehicle had persistd. Not only that, a photo of the vibrant bus apshown by an Associated Press photographer was circulating expansively on television and online, giving watchers a meacertain of delight.

“There is magic in that van,” Martin, 24, said Tuesday in an interwatch with AP. “It produces no sense why this happened. It should have been toasted, but here we are.”

Martin bought the 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 somewhat on a whim sometime around his juvenileer year studying mechanical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

His mother, Tracey Martin, of Irvine, yelled at him for blotriumphg his money, Martin said, but he tgreater her he’d save on rent by repairing up the inside and living in it his greater year, which he did. She came to cherish the bus, and sewed curtains for the triumphdows.

Last summer, he sgreater the van to his frifinish and business partner, Megan Krystle Weinraub, 29, who summarizes surf- and skateboards under the Vibrant Boards brand. Martin produces carbon fiber surfboards under Starlite.

On 5 January, the frifinishs went surfing with the van, which Weinraub calls Azul, Spanish for “blue”. Afterward, Martin parked it on a flat spot up the hill from her apartment by the Getty Villa, as she was still lgeting to drive the manual transmission.

Two days tardyr, the Paligrieffules fire erupted, and Weinraub fled with her dog, Bodi, and some dog food in her primary car. She felt griefful about Azul, she said, but felt it was unbeginant contrastd with those who had lost homes or even cherishd ones.

On Thursday, a neighbor sent her a photo. In the background was the bus, still blue and white and not at all harmd.
