As we head into the recovery process, officials have stated that residents won't be returning home soon due to severe hazards including landslides and toxic debris.
Los Angeles County Public Works Director Mark Pestrella emphasized, 'The properties have been damaged beyond belief. They are full of sediment, debris, silt and hazardous materials.'
Officials are asking for patience as hazardous materials teams and cadaver dogs conduct searches block by block, ensuring safety before residents can return.
With the hillsides now unstable, the area faces new dangers, including potential slides, as seen when a small landslide affected the streets in Pacific Palisades.
