Flawed emergency alert systems lagged when residents needed them most during Los Angeles wildfires
- After wind-driven wildfires broke out in Southern California on January 7th, evacuation orders for some neighborhoods came late, after houses were already on fire.
- Los Angeles County officials approved an outside review of how emergency alerts functioned during the Eaton and Palisades Fires, in response to residents' demands.
- Issues with emergency alert systems have been a common problem in other major California wildfires, such as the 2017 Tubbs Fire, 2018 Camp Fire, and the 2023 Lahaina Fire in Hawaii.
