Former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu will play a key role in Los Angeles' recovery from the recent wildfires. Mayor Karen Bass announced Landrieu will be touring the Palisades Fire area alongside other officials. With rain expected this weekend, Bass issued an emergency order to prevent hazardous runoff in burn areas.
Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans who helped rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina, will be playing a 'key role' in Los Angeles' recovery from the wildfires, Mayor Karen Bass announced Tuesday. During a press conference, Bass said Landrieu would be touring the Palisades Fire area alongside Councilwoman Traci Park and newly-appointed Chief Recovery Officer Steve Soboroff. 'I'm making sure this is an all-hands-on-deck recovery,' said Bass.
' 'The burn scar of the Palisades Fire not only sits feet from the ocean itself, but already on hillsides that are already prone to slide and which have already absorbed a tremendous amount of water from firefighting broken pipes and melted pools,' she said. The order mobilizes City Public Works crews to clear and remove vegetation, shore up hillsides, reinforce roads and clear debris from neighborhoods and areas that were burned.
