“It is in seeing this hope that I am confident that our communities will recover and rebuild,” Barger said, adding that legislative leaders and state agencies have committed to help cut permitting red tape that could slow reconstruction.

Barger said California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an executive order that suspends certain environmental review and coastal permitting requirements for reconstruction of properties substantially damaged or destroyed in the fires. She said the directive also asks state agencies to identify additional permitting requirements that can be safely suspended or streamlined to accelerate rebuilding; Barger thanked the governor for the action.

Mayor Karen Bass said the city will partner fully with the county and state to speed recovery and pointed to an online hub at lacity.gov as a centralized resource for evacuation zones, FEMA support and resources for small businesses. Bass said FEMA staff will be co-located at county libraries and later at local assistance centers; Barger provided a list of libraries that will host FEMA staff from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow, including La Crescenta, La Canada Flintridge, Live Oak, Temple City, San Gabriel, Alhambra, West Hollywood and San Fernando.

Bass also highlighted philanthropic support: more than 13,000 donors have given over $6 million to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund and encouraged Angelenos to support vetted relief efforts such as the California Community Foundation and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.

Officials said more details about co-located FEMA disaster recovery centers and local assistance centers will be announced in the coming days and that county and city staff are coordinating housing, welfare, health and economic resources for displaced residents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","1/12/25 - LA County Windstorm and Wildfires One Voice Press Conference","oneSentenceSummary","Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said she invited the president-elect to visit affected communities; she and Mayor Karen Bass said FEMA and county libraries will provide direct assistance and that Gov.

“Unfortunately, we have confirmed 14 deaths, and that is in our specific LA County jurisdiction: 11 at the Eaton fire and 3 in our portion or our jurisdiction in the Palisades fire,” Sheriff Luna said. He cautioned those figures apply to county jurisdiction only and that city agencies and the county coroner may report differing totals for other jurisdictions.

Sheriff Luna said the sheriff's department had 16 missing‑person reports at the time he spoke (12 in Eaton and 4 in Palisades) and urged anyone who believes someone is missing to report it to local law enforcement. He said numbers are being reconciled and that “as these searches continue, I unfortunately anticipate that those numbers will increase.”

LAPD Chief Jim McDonald said search operations will include cadaver dogs and that recovery work will require crime‑scene preservation when remains are found; the department is working closely with the Los Angeles County coroner.

Officials said family assistance and FEMA coordination centers are available for families seeking information. Sheriff Luna encouraged families to use the county’s resources and the family assistance center to report missing people and get guidance through the process.","Los Angeles County officials confirmed 14 deaths in the county jurisdiction and said search operations that have started grid searches and will expand are likely to find additional victims; family assistance centers and missing-person reporting remain active.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6393642,"Sheriff Luna, LAPD enforce curfews and report arrests as National Guard and CHP bolster security",576,971000,1547000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2106524-930306ea753cac8c0f04e9e4884a4e37&start=971&end=1547","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2106524-930306ea753cac8c0f04e9e4884a4e37/thumbnail_971000.jpg","/articles/6393642/Los-Angeles-County/California/Sheriff-Luna-LAPD-enforce-curfews-and-report-arrests-as-National-Guard-and-CHP-bolster-security","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6393642-43d742066f5dbe295862649ddcae5c4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200472&Signature=oJyaS0z0i6GFWsOT-qexkyiK56T8TAxbGo3IXg714L097ew~L2RDb9cAoxb~Wq1YHoIMitNM7eB8TyFhzKnDBr28gtyLcdODijIvSBjt6kW6X~tQi2gkh2Cv2DEKlxHALA~gkdMshwONxRBQNXTtQIfI687l0S~zZYBtmbyyRKoflzMWRX5JrgnKtwduXvKZ1OJHHgUWKWy-yfq7Z4llNGZBrcY38Z-LFG3Gm0z9n5UMD60oU-R3Get1p28mHJi8qj5kjU6Hk1zBmJpA7RO93WKkuYjeT5E8CYgEQiVboRYcWrMd8yYd6XbtLpckz0r8qd40sL7VHSQSFyIk3BRbvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sheriff Luna said the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has increased deputy staffing to about 1,200 personnel and that deputies have been assigned roughly 1,500 missions including road closures, traffic control and welfare checks. He said many deputies are working 12-hour shifts and that National Guard personnel of roughly 400 are assisting multiple agencies across the region.

“If you are asked to leave and you're in an evacuation order area, your life is in danger. You need to leave,” Sheriff Luna said, urging compliance with evacuation orders and patience as access to evacuated areas remains restricted.

Luna said law enforcement made additional arrests overnight, bringing the total to about 29 arrests he was reconciling (about 25 in the Eaton area and 4 in the Palisades), and detailed recent charges including curfew violations, carrying a concealed firearm and narcotics-related charges.

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonald said LAPD had over 600 officers deployed to the affected areas, aided by Los Angeles Airport Police, Port Police and the National Guard (he said about 100 soldiers were assigned to the Palisades incident). McDonald said a curfew remains in effect in Los Angeles City areas under mandatory evacuation — from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. — and that officers will arrest people who violate it.

McDonald and Luna both warned of individuals impersonating first responders and people attempting to exploit the disaster. McDonald said investigators have formed the Los Angeles Regional Wildfire Investigative Task Force, led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to identify fire causes.

Officials also cautioned residents about scams and fraudulent donation solicitations. McDonald recommended that donors research charities before giving and suggested resources such as Charity Navigator and the Better Business Bureau to verify organizations. Sheriff Luna pointed to the emergency network Los Angeles at www.enla.org as an official point for donations.

Law enforcement officials said they are coordinating with the state attorney general, the U.S. attorney and local district attorneys to pursue criminal and white‑collar cases tied to the fires.","Los Angeles County Sheriff Luna and LAPD Chief Jim McDonald described an expanded law-enforcement response—curfews, arrests for looting and impersonation, National Guard and CHP support—and urged residents to avoid evacuated areas and verify donation requests.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6393645,"Eaton, Palisades fires remain active as officials keep evacuations in place ahead of strong winds",290,568000,858000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2106524-930306ea753cac8c0f04e9e4884a4e37&start=568&end=858","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2106524-930306ea753cac8c0f04e9e4884a4e37/thumbnail_568000.jpg","/articles/6393645/Los-Angeles-County/California/Eaton-Palisades-fires-remain-active-as-officials-keep-evacuations-in-place-ahead-of-strong-winds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6393645-702caf6e93617b5d34a729366c0d24dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200472&Signature=K9nKDHunV2d46sgm7-O6CBZjJhDicm2HGsLadduc2hEuIE8ad7rCjxI97gkPtQPtILkApfxoKmjY0LeIJz~SCiEdlPT7cklJPHEjjzmynMtO1BqlgrODR0f1-izrCS6zREvuloyBcNn-8IGARE8nBevPfm3ppDsGa9MB7LKrpkLbWYKRGHLEMH-VGacx1m4MkC7vU-T7KNMvH6LUj~SqJVRoazB3TB8HBZtLS7Y9SusgNypcYTGuVCZqhh8BrDylAcx1BAIkTx1R8UIsMiBZVR~73I49K~FF5diiHUzbFH-uvWPbKvOPb6Tev-0NPNGKG4FAC3CKaUlgOwjckdjLEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Maroney said the Eaton Fire is estimated at 14,117 acres with 27% containment and that county crews remain prepared as critical fire weather continues through Wednesday. He said about 7,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed and that 3,155 firefighting personnel are assigned to the incident.

The county and city reiterated that repopulation of evacuated areas will be gradual. “Please be assured that we will continue to battle these wildfires from the air and on the ground until they are fully contained. We stand alongside all of you as we begin repopulation of evacuated areas, establishment of disaster recovery centers, and the rebuilding of your homes, your communities, and your lives,” Maroney said.

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristen Crowley said air and ground crews prevented further spread into Mandeville Canyon overnight and reported the Palisades fire at 23,707 acres with roughly 11% containment and about 4,720 personnel assigned. She warned that evacuation orders and warnings remain in place because “there are still active fires that are burning within the Palisades area, making it extremely, extremely dangerous for the public.”

Chief Crowley and Chief Maroney both warned of strong northeast winds, gusts up to about 50 miles per hour, and low humidity through Wednesday. Maroney and Crowley said those conditions, combined with low fuel moisture, keep the fire threat very high and that necessary public safety power shutoffs are an important preventive measure.

The Hearst Fire, Crowley said, has been held to about 799 acres and is 89% contained with more than 300 firefighters assigned.

Local officials urged residents to follow evacuation orders and warnings and to await official notices before attempting to return. The county is setting up disaster recovery centers, and officials said online tools are being developed so residents can check the damage status of their homes.

Officials also urged patience as teams complete damage inspections and safety checks for utilities and unstable structures before repopulation can proceed.","Los Angeles County and city fire chiefs said the Eaton and Palisades fires are holding but not contained fully; tens of thousands remain under evacuation orders or warnings and repopulation will wait until areas are deemed safe.","actionData","errors"]
