Although NorthC expected on Friday to be able to restore power to its own facility in Almere this afternoon, that turned out to be premature. The operator now expects to have a "temporary, redundant power supply" available on Wednesday, May 13, at 12:00 p.m. Customers will then be able to power on their IT systems in a controlled manner. "Unfortunately, this means another delay," NorthC acknowledges.

"Before you think about cleaning or salvaging belongings, make sure the property is safe to enter. Even if the fire appears contained, hidden structural damage and hazardous residue can remain behind."

Raman described the city as rudderless and criticized the rebuilding effort as indefensibly slow, citing a lack of leadership on critical issues like insurance and health concerns.

The stromboli at Tony DiMaggio's Pizza on Monterey Road is a real San Jose gem. So it was heartbreaking and hunger-inducing when the restaurant was shut down for nearly a year for repairs following a devastating roof fire in July 2024. Fans checked in on the progress regularly on social media, noticing when the new sign when up last May and hoping for good news. That came in June of this year when Tony DiMaggio's reopened its doors exactly 11 months after the fire.

During the months after the Aug. 8, 2023 fire, support poured in from neighbors. A GoFundMe raised over $63,000 to rebuild the store. Progress Hardware also received a $10,000 grant for fire disaster relief from San Francisco's Office of Small Businesses, and $9,750 from District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar's office. Locals watched in anticipation as construction workers fixed up the storefront at 724 Irving St. In the past few months, the plywood was removed. The store looks ready.

Six months after the twin catastrophes that exploded on Jan. 7, residents are slowly beginning to rebuild their lives and properties, with 9,500 properties cleared since the emergency began.

The authority, the commission said, is designed to counterbalance the forces that drive up housing costs, prioritizing displaced residents in the rebuilding process.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath confirmed the inclusion of the fire-ravaged Tahitian Terrace in a federal debris removal program, reassuring residents of progress in rebuilding.
