USACE actively works with Los Angeles County, CalOES, FEMA, and other partners to support the Southern California wildfire recovery efforts. USACE currently has more than 450 personnel on site and around 3,000 contractors actively supporting our local, state, and FEMA partners to support survivors impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires on Jan. 7. This includes engineers, debris removal crews, safety officers, quality assurance specialists, and more from across the nation. Additionally, more than 200 crews work 12-hour days, seven days a week, to remove debris to mitigate public health risk, protect the environment, and speed community recovery.
