California Landslide Victims in Rancho Palos Verdes Receive Financial Aid

The city council allocates $2.8 million for immediate relief to residents affected by severe land movement and utility shutoffs.

Rancho Palos Verdes City Council has approved $2.8 million from a $5 million LA County grant to support residents impacted by landslides.
Emergency grants up to $10,000 will be provided to approximately 280 affected homes, though many residents face repair costs nearing $100,000.
The landslides have caused significant damage, including collapsed homes and utility disruptions, prompting a state of emergency declaration by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Efforts to mitigate further land movement include installing deep dewatering wells, which have shown promising results in slowing the shifting ground.
Utility companies have been urged to offer more substantial support as many residents remain without power and gas, with ongoing discussions planned with the Public Utilities Commission.
