In the wake of severe wildfires affecting Altadena and the Pacific Palisades, a newly formed Blue Ribbon Commission on Climate Action and Fire-Safe Recovery has made recommendations for future disaster response improvements. They suggest creating a Resilient Rebuilding Authority to oversee rebuilding and ensure fire-proofing of new constructions. The aim is to streamline recovery, prioritize the return of displaced residents, and prevent investors from taking over properties. The commission consists of diverse experts tasked with enhancing the effectiveness of recovery efforts in light of climate change impacts.
The authority, the commission said, is designed to counterbalance the forces that drive up housing costs, prioritizing displaced residents in the rebuilding process.
Extraordinary measures are needed. Business as usual just won't work, said Cecilia Estolano, highlighting the need for innovative strategies in fire recovery.
The Resilient Rebuilding Authority aims to streamline recovery efforts and ensure proper fire-proofing of new construction in the aftermath of devastating wildfires.
A 20-member independent commission calls for legislative action to oversee rebuilding and improve response to future climate-related disasters.
