California governor signs bills to aid Los Angeles wildfire recovery and reform disaster response
The bills include property tax relief, fire risk reduction grants, and measures to prevent looting, aiding thousands after two wildfires killed over 30 people in January, officials said.
- California governor Gavin Newsom signed bills this week to streamline the process for rebuilding homes lost to wildfires, including an accelerated permitting process and allowing residents to live in temporary structures while rebuilding.
- The legislation also puts programs in place to decrease the risk of catastrophic wildfires by creating a grant program for low-income homeowners to install fire-safe roofs and funding defensible space vegetation clearing projects.
- The bills will protect homeowners and tenants immediately following a disaster and crack down on looting and first responder impersonators in evacuation zones.
