Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is issuing an Emergency Executive Order to shore up burn areas ahead of possible rain. With the order, Bass hopes to mitigate potentially serious health and environmental impacts of fire-related hazardous pollutants on the stormwater system, beaches, and ocean.
The emergency executive order marshals City Public Works crews to clear and remove vegetation, shore up hillsides, reinforce roads, and clear debris from burn areas ahead of rainy weather that could arrive on Saturday.
