Los Angeles County has recently introduced an innovative virtual map to aid wildfire survivors in determining the status of their properties post-disaster. This interactive map, accessible on the county's official website, offers a visual representation of the damage incurred by homes affected by the Eaton Fire.
The Board of Supervisors Chair, Kathryn Barger, emphasized the significance of this virtual tool in assisting residents in assessing the condition of their properties. The map includes detailed photos and a color-coded key to indicate the extent of damage to each property.
According to the information provided, properties are categorized based on the level of damage they have sustained. Homes marked in black signify no damage, while those in green have experienced 1 to 9% damage. Yellow indicates properties with 10 to 25% damage, orange represents 26 to 50% damage, and red signifies properties that have been more than 50% destroyed.
As the assessment of damages continues, the county has assured that additional properties will be continually added to the virtual map to provide comprehensive information to affected residents. This real-time update feature ensures that individuals have access to the most current status of their properties.
The primary objective of this virtual map is to enable residents to understand the impact on their properties promptly, facilitating their application for assistance and initiating the recovery process. By offering a reliable and easily accessible source of information, the county aims to support wildfire survivors in navigating the aftermath of the disaster effectively.
