Altadena residents are reluctant to sue L.A. County over botched evacuations. Here's why

Many residents of west Altadena feel victimized twice by the January firestorm as massive destruction occurred and delayed evacuation alerts exacerbated the situation, resulting in 17 deaths. They believe that this delay was crucial in the tragedy that unfolded in their community. Despite the outrage surrounding the delayed alerts, including an ongoing investigation into county officials, no lawsuits have been filed against the county. Residents considered legal actions against the county; however, worries about jeopardizing settlements with Southern California Edison, which they are already suing, caused many to abandon their claim.
