Rancho Palos Verdes is facing significant infrastructure damage due to land movement, raising financial concerns. City officials seek assistance from various governmental levels but face challenges. Although they've received some support from state officials, federal aid appears limited with the elimination of certain FEMA programs. Assembly Bill 986 aims to clarify eligibility criteria for disaster relief funds, enabling responsive measures against landslides exacerbated by climate change. Local leaders are actively engaged in promoting this bill, acknowledging the historical nature of the land movement issues.
"The goal of this bill, Muratsuchi said, is to make sure that local governments like RPV can respond effectively to landslides by accessing county, state and federal disaster resources and support."
