Information Center to Connect RPV Residents Impacted by Land Movement with Resources and Support

 

Officials from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management will be available for interviews at the opening of an information center established for residents impacted by land movement in Rancho Palos Verdes.

Slow-moving, ancient landslides in the city have significantly accelerated across 680 acres following heavy rainy seasons, causing damage to homes, roads, and utilities. On July 29, SoCalGas shut off natural gas service to approximately 135 homes in the Portuguese Bend community due to land movement. On July 30, Southern California Edison advised customers in the landslide area that electricity service may be discontinued in the future, if conditions warrant.

The Information Center will be open to impacted residents on August 6 and 8 at the Ladera Linda Community Center. The center will feature Los Angeles County services, in partnership with Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn’s Office, state agencies, nonprofits, and emergency preparedness resources. The City will have a station with information on permitting for gas conversion and solar projects, as well as Public Works requests. Concurrently, the Portuguese Bend Community Association will host a fair with contractors and professionals who provide services for these and other projects that may be needed.

Time: 2:30 p.m., Aug. 6 and 8

Venue: Ladera Linda Community Center, 32201 Forrestal Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes
