Hope on the Horizon: USACE Assists Fire Survivors in Recovery

-

 


Lawrence and Melanie Pruitt stand amidst the remains of their property after the Eaton Fires. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Los Angeles District is assisting the couple by clearing debris and hazardous materials, enabling them to begin the rebuilding process. This mission is part of a broader federal effort to help affected residents recover and return to their communities.


USACE is actively partnering with Los Angeles County, CalOES, FEMA, and other organizations to support wildfire recovery efforts in Southern California. Currently, USACE has more than 450 personnel on-site, along with around 3,000 contractors providing support to local, state, and FEMA partners for those impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires on January 7. This workforce includes engineers, debris removal crews, safety officers, quality assurance specialists, and more from across the nation. Additionally, over 200 crews are working 12-hour days, seven days a week, specifically to remove debris, mitigate risks to public health, protect the environment, and expedite community recovery.
