Emergency Executive Orders to Return and Rebuild

In response to the January wildfires, Mayor Bass has issued a number of emergency executive orders to clear the way for Los Angeles residents and business owners to rapidly rebuild:

  • Emergency Executive Order 1 – Expedited Community Rebuilding and Recovery: This order clears the way for LA residents to rapidly rebuild by cutting red tape. Specifically, it streamlined debris removal, established a one-stop-shop to swiftly issue permits, directed City departments to expedite building permit reviews and inspections, and more.

  • Emergency Executive Order 5 – Resilient Rebuilding: This order helps Palisades residents expedite the rebuilding of their homes and businesses in ways that better protect against wildfires and other climate-fueled disasters. Specifically, City departments will develop paths forward to streamline permitting for owners who rebuild all-electric, more fire-resistant homes, promote the use of fire-resistant construction materials to harden homes and businesses, further strengthen the resiliency of utilities and ensure power reliability during severe weather events, and more.
