Residents affected by the recent wildfire in Los Angeles County, particularly around the Eaton Fire area, have been assured by Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger that the government is committed to making the rebuilding process as smooth as possible. Barger emphasized that wildfire victims should not have to face unnecessary government hurdles when reconstructing their homes and businesses.
During a visit to a disaster recovery center in Pasadena, Barger expressed her solidarity with impacted residents, stating that the board is united in its efforts to support the community. She highlighted the importance of expediting services for those who cannot afford delays in the rebuilding process.
Speaking about her interactions with residents at the recovery center, Barger noted a sense of determination among individuals who were planning to remain in the community and rebuild their lives. She found hope in the resilience and positive outlook of the affected individuals, stating that they were focused on the 'when' of rebuilding rather than the 'if'.
The proactive approach taken by the Los Angeles County government, as articulated by Barger, aims to provide a supportive environment for wildfire victims as they navigate the challenges of reconstruction. By prioritizing efficiency and minimizing bureaucratic obstacles, the government seeks to facilitate a swift and effective recovery process for the community.
