Access remains restricted in affected areas as over 92,000 people remain under evacuation orders. Preliminary maps show damage assessments ranging from destruction to minor damage.
As access to many neighborhoods in the Eaton and Palisades fire zones remains restricted, Los Angeles County has released preliminary maps outlining which structures and homes have sustained damage or destruction. As of Monday, over 92,000 people remain under evacuation orders, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. These maps, while still incomplete, offer evacuated residents a glimpse into the fate of their homes, revealing whether they stand intact or the extent of the damage.
Many residents are still barred from returning to their neighborhoods. 'Repopulation will not occur until all areas are safe,' emphasized Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Anthony Marrone.The maps utilize a color-coded system to categorize structure damage assessments, ranging from complete destruction to major and minor damage. They also differentiate structures affected and those unscathed. Marrone highlighted that the maps are being updated daily, stressing that 'if there is not a color icon on your address, it means the building has not yet been inspected.' Luna echoed Marrone's sentiments, stating that repopulation is a paramount concern. 'We are hearing our community loud and clear and we want to get you in there as soon as possible,' he said. He cautioned that numerous hazards persist in the area, and crews are diligently working to locate those who have perished.'For the Altadena area, we are in the third day of grid searching,' Luna explained. 'It is a very grim task ... We have people saying, 'I just want to go look at my house and see what's left.' We know that, but we have people literally looking for the remains of your neighbors. Please be patient with us.' The maps, available online, provide valuable information for residents seeking updates on the status of their properties. They serve as a crucial tool in the ongoing recovery process, offering a sense of clarity amidst the devastation
