Risk from hazards on Public Lands-Dealing with Impacted Homeowners
Channel: Sean Anderson
Date: 09/04/2024

This was a staff briefing from our MRCA Lead Ranger on recent (January-March 2024) storm impacts to MRCA/SMMC property in and around Los Angeles and the Santa Monica Mountains.

This was public testimony during the 502nd meeting of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy & Advisory Committee at our King Gillette Ranch NPS Headquarters in Calabasas, California on Monday, April 8, 2024.

The key issues here revolve around how neighbors to public lands are treated when natural hazards manifest into risks related to wildfire, drought, or intense rainfall which can mobilize soils via mud- or landslides.
