Los Angeles County is currently assessing the resources at its disposal to aid businesses affected by the recent devastating fires. A member of the county board of supervisors revealed that they are considering implementing a business interruption fund to assist businesses impacted by the fires, similar to measures taken during previous states of emergency.

While the exact economic impact of the fires is not yet known, Lindsey Horvath, who represents the district including the Palisades, emphasized the county's commitment to supporting businesses and individuals affected by the fires. In addition to focusing on businesses, the county is also exploring options to assist residents whose homes have been impacted by the fires.
