A state of emergency was declared in the city of Rancho Palos Verdes Tuesday a day after more homes lost power due to the shifting land.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proclamation of a state of emergency would allow the state government to “utilize and employ” state resources to provide assistance to nearly 300 residences and businesses that are now without gas and electricity.
The declaration would also allow the state to provide further assistance to local government under the California Disaster Assistance Act.After SoCalGas cut off its gas service to the community due to the land movement in early August, Southern California Edison Sunday terminated its electricity supply to 140 homes and 53 businesses in the Portuguese Bend community before expanding the power shut-off to an additional 105 houses in the Seaview community Monday.
