EPA completes hazardous waste work at Azusa staging area

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has finished processing hazardous waste collected from properties damaged in the Eaton Fire and brought to a staging area in Azusa, officials announced Saturday. All operations have ceased at the Lario Park staging area, and EPA workers have completely left the site, officials said. Sample tests from the area verified that the hazardous waste processing had no environmental impact.

“The successful comple-

tion of EPA's work at the Lario staging area marks an important step in our hazardous materials removal mission throughout the Eaton fire zone," Tara Fitzgerald, EPA's incident commander, said in a statement. "We recognize community concerns about environmental impacts from our operations and confirm that as anticipated, our work at the staging area had no adverse environmental effects on the site or the surrounding communities."

Some examples of household hazardous materials

extracted from the more than 10,000 properties damaged or destroyed by the Eaton Fire in January include lithium-ion batteries, electronic devices, electric vehicles and bikes, power tools and home energy systems.

Information on the EPA's safety and mitigation measures at and around the staging area is available at epa.gov/california-wildfires/ fact-sheets.

The EPA’s hazardous waste work was part of a

response effort led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which assigned the EPA to assess, remove and dispose of hazardous materials from all burned areas. The EPA set up temporary locations where hazardous materials collected from the fire zones were consolidated and repackaged in a controlled environment to ensure safe transportation to final disposal facilities.

The 29-day hazardous waste cleanup was the first

LA County has cut homelessness, but wildfires impede progress

By Angela Hart for KFF Health News.

Asflamesengulfed anearbycanyon, dozens of residents in a sober-living home fled to an unoccupied building about 30 miles south. The evacuees, many of whom were previously homeless, watched helplessly as their home burned on live TV.

When they awoke on air mattresses the next morning, loss set in. Some feared uncertainty. Others were jolted back to lives they thought they’d left behind.

“I had nothing but the clothes on my back. It just brought back all of those feelings of being homeless and a drug addict,” said one resident, Sean Brown. “Kind of like I was back at square one.”

The large two-story Altadena house, known to staff and residents as Art House, was surrounded by fruit trees and rugged mountains. For many, it was a safe space that enabled them to achieve and maintain

sobriety, rebuild relationships, and hold down jobs. Brown, 35, was among nearly 50 people displaced in January after the massive Eaton Fire destroyed one property and damaged another operated by the nonprofit Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Supported by public dollars, the organization provides housing and behavioral health treatment to people struggling with addiction, many who had been living on the streets. Operators say both properties are uninhabitable and that they are searching for permanent housing for those displaced.

“Our residents are still in temporary lodging. Right now we’re looking for something on an interim basis, but we still need to identify long-term housing for them,” said Juan Navarro, CEO of the nonprofit. “And we need even more beds. We’re seeing even bigger demand for treatment and

California lawmakers request nearly $2B for LA city recovery from wildfires

Mayor Karen Bass and four City Council members are back in Los Angeles Tuesday after a one-day sojourn to Sacramento resulted in 22 California legislators requesting nearly $2 billion in wildfire recovery aid for Los Angeles.

"Meetings were productive," Bass told City News Service in a short phone interview Monday evening. "It is not as though we expected to walk away with a check, but we absolutely walked away with encouragement and support."

"We have homework we need to do in terms of getting the Legislature some more specific information in a couple of areas, but we are very encouraged," she added.

The LA delegation traveled to Sacramento Monday and met with Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, D-Hollister, and Assemblywoman Tina McKinnor, D-Inglewood chair of the Los Angeles County legislative delegation.

Management Agency reimbursement;

They also met with state Senate President Pro Tempore Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg, Senate Budget Committee Chair Scott Weiner, D-San Francisco, and Sen. Maria Elena Durazo, D-Los Angeles, vice chair of the Los Angeles County legislative delegation. Collectively, the delegation's 39 assembly members and state senators represent nearly 10 million people.

After meetings Monday, McKinnor and 22 other members of the Legislature who represent the Los Angeles region sent a letter to the Assembly Budget Committee requesting support for Los Angeles.

In the letter, state leaders broke down the requested $1.893 billion into the following:

-- $638 million for protecting city services under budgetary strain and addressing liability costs;

-- $301 million would serve as a loan to cover disaster recovery expenses pending Federal Emergency

-- $750 million would serve as another loan to support the city's effort in upgrading the electric power grid and funds to incentivize electric upgrades and appliances — $700 million — as well as to upgrade the traffic signal system in Pacific Palisades — $50 million;

-- $56.5 million to aid in fire safety and fire suppression measures such as brush clearing, fire department equipment/vehicles, and to help reconstruct a decommissioned Palisades reservoir;

-- $72.8 million for several projects to support workers and residents through the operation of another one-stop rebuilding center, waiving permitting fees, hiring Angelenos for fire clean-up and other recovery work, interim library and recreation/park activities, and to provide emergency housing vouchers; and

-- $75.5 million for public assistance measures via Project Roomkey and noncongregate shelters

"We appreciate your consideration of these requests and look forward to

working with you to secure the necessary resources for our communities impacted by this devastating natural disaster," the letter reads.

Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Councilman Bob Blumenfield, Councilman Adrin Nazarian and Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky, chair of the budget committee, joined Bass for the trip.

Yaroslavsky said the trip wasn't about a "onetime fix," but rather about laying a foundation for a more resilient city.

Bass served in the Assembly from 2004-10, was its speaker from 2008-10 and a member of the House from 2011-22.

The mayor touted her experience and said relationships at the state and federal level are "very important." Blumenfield and Nazarian also served in the Assembly.

While the city may not receive state aid immediately, Bass told CNS she anticipates meetings with state lawmakers will move the needle for Los Angeles.

"You know the budget here, there will be the May revise, which happens 30

days after taxes are due," Bass said. "So, the state will have a much better picture of its economy.

"They prepare the budget, which is due by mid-June, and so hopefully, there will be some additions in that budget that will provide resources for the city and the county," the mayor added.

The trip to Sacramento comes a week after city officials learned they face a nearly $1 billion gap in the next fiscal year. Bass and the City Council are already exploring potential solutions to right-size the budget — which will require tough financial decisions that could lead to thousands of layoffs and cuts to services.

According to Bass' office, downward economic trends mean the city is projected to take in hundreds of millions of dollars less than previously projected. In addition to these trends, costs associated with the recent wildfires are also expected to add to the burden.

The mayor is expected to release her proposed budget April 21.

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Inclusive Summer Camps: A Pathway to Growth for Children with Disabilities

Choosing the ideal summer camp for children with disabilities can be a transformative experience for both the kids and their families. It involves careful consideration to ensure a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment that fosters personal growth and social interaction. Summer camps provide unique opportunities for empowerment, promoting confidence and independence among children with different abilities. To start, it's crucial to identify a child's specific needs and interests. This involves considering whether the child would thrive in a traditional camp setting with accommodations or if a specialized camp might be more suitable. Factors such as medical support, mobility accessibility, and sensory sensitivities should be at the forefront of this decision.

A key aspect to assess when evaluating camp options is the qualifications and training of staff, especially regarding inclusive care for children with disabilities. Camp counselors must be adept in handling medical needs and managing

emergencies, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all campers.

The physical accessibility of the camp facilities is another priority. This includes evaluating whether pathways, restrooms, and activity areas accommodate various disabilities. For children with sensory sensitivities, it's beneficial if camps provide sensory-friendly spaces and adaptive activities.

Discussing medical and behavioral support with camp officials is essential. Parents should verify the presence of onsite medical personnel and understand protocols for managing medications and emergencies. Behavioral support strategies should also be examined to ensure a positive environment for all campers.

Engaging with fellow parents whose children have attended the camp can provide valuable first-hand insights into the environment and staff interactions. Additionally, many camps offer trial days or short sessions, allowing children to familiarize themselves with the camp atmosphere before committing to an extended stay.

Financial considerations are also significant, and many camps offer financial aid or scholarships. Parents can look into organizations that sponsor children with disabilities for camp experiences. Ultimately, summer camps serve as a platform for children with disabilities to build friendships, learn new skills, and enjoy new adventures, empowering them to thrive in a nurturing environment.

Is Ozempic a game-changer for insulin resistance? What you need to know

By Nima Mehran for SaveHealth via Stacker

Insulin resistance is a growing health concern worldwide, linked to a variety of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Alzheimer's disease, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disorders. As medical professionals and researchers continue searching for effective treatments, a drug called Ozempic (semaglutide) has emerged as a potenatial therapy.

Originally approved for type 2 diabetes management, Ozempic has shown promising results in improving insulin sensitivity and addressing metabolic dysfunction. SaveHealth, a prescription discount website, explores what the research says about Ozempic's effects on insulin resistance and related conditions.

Understanding Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. As a result, the pancreas compensates by producing more insulin, leading to hyperinsulinemia. Over time, this can contribute to high blood sugar, fat accumulation, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Several factors contribute to insulin resistance, including:

- Genetics

- Obesity

- Poor diet (high in refined carbohydrates and sugars)

- Sedentary lifestyle

- Chronic stress

- Hormonal imbalances

If left unchecked, insulin resistance can lead to serious health complications, making early intervention and treatment crucial.

Ozempic: Mechanism of Action

Ozempic is a glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone that plays a vital role in glucose metabolism by:

-Stimulating insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are high

-Suppressing glucagon

(a hormone that raises blood sugar)

-Slowing gastric emptying, leading to reduced appetite

- Promoting weight loss, which is a key factor in improving insulin sensitivity

Due to these mechanisms, Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar levels and has been studied for its benefits beyond type 2 diabetes.

Ozempic Dosage and Administration

Ozempic is available as a once-weekly injectable medication. The typical dosing schedule includes:

- Starting Dose:

0.25 mg once weekly for the first four weeks. This allows the body to adjust to the medication and helps minimize side effects.

- Maintenance Dose:

After four weeks, the dose is increased to 0.5 mg once weekly.

- Higher Dose (if needed): If further blood sugar control or weight loss is required, the dose may be increased to 1 mg once weekly. In some cases, healthcare providers may prescribe up to 2 mg once weekly.

Ozempic should be injected subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It is important to follow a consistent weekly schedule to maximize its benefits. Patients should consult their healthcare providers before making any changes to their dosage.

Ozempic and Insulin Resistance: What Research Shows

1.Weight Loss and Insulin Sensitivity

Multiple studies have found that Ozempic contributes to significant weight loss, which in turn improves insulin sensitivity. Excess body fat, particularly visceral fat, is a major contributor to insulin resistance. Clinical trials, including the STEP (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity) trials, have demonstrated that semaglutide leads to substantial weight reduction in overweight and obese individuals, making it a valuable

tool for insulin resistance management.

2.Effects on PCOS and Hormonal Imbalances

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder commonly associated with insulin resistance. Women with PCOS often struggle with weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, and increased risk of diabetes. Research indicates that GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic may help regulate insulin levels, promote weight loss, and restore menstrual regularity in women with PCOS.

A study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism highlighted improvements in glucose metabolism and ovulation rates in PCOS patients using semaglutide.

3.Role in Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Health

Emerging evidence suggests a link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease, sometimes referred to as "type 3 diabetes." Insulin resistance in the brain can lead to impaired glucose metabolism, increased inflammation, and the accumulation of amyloid plaques, which contribute to neurodegeneration.

Animal studies and early clinical trials have explored the potential of GLP-1 receptor agonists in reducing neuroinflammation and improving cognitive function. A study in The Lancet Neurology found that semaglutide had neuroprotective effects, offering hope

for further research into its potential role in Alzheimer's prevention and treatment.

4. Cardiovascular Benefits

Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that Ozempic not only lowers blood sugar and insulin levels but also improves cardiovascular outcomes. Clinical trials

such as the SUSTAIN series have reported reduced risks of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in patients taking semaglutide. These findings support its potential as a broader metabolic health intervention.

5.Impact on Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels, is strongly linked to insulin resistance. Research suggests that Ozempic's ability to regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support weight loss can significantly improve metabolic syndrome markers.

Conclusion: Is Ozempic the Future of Insulin Resistance Treatment?

The research on Ozempic

and insulin resistance is encouraging, particularly for individuals struggling with obesity, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, and even neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. While more long-term studies are needed, current evidence suggests that Ozempic may play a valuable role in improving insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health.

As the medical community continues to explore innovative approaches to managing insulin resistance, Ozempic represents a promising option for patients seeking effective treatment beyond traditional methods. However, individual responses vary, and lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise remain critical for optimal metabolic health.

AI can rip you off — California bills take aim at price discrimination

By Khari Johnson, The Markup via Stacker

Californialawmakers want to stop artificial intelligencefrom ripping you off.

In recent weeks they introduced five bills to address the issue, making predictive pricing based on a customer's personal information one of the most popular tech policy concerns in the Legislature this session, The Markup reported.

Ride-sharing apps, travel companies and retail giants such as Staples, Target and reportedly Amazon have engaged in the practice, which can set different prices for customers based on factors including internet browsing data or where they live. In one recent example published by SFGATE, a person in the Bay Area was offered a hotel room for $500 more than people in less affluent areas.

The pricing isn't based on supply or demand. It's based on predictions made about your eagerness and desires, said researcher Justin Kloczko. In one recent instance he found that Lyft charged his wife $5 more than him for the same ride. Kloczko works at Consumer Watchdog, an advocacy group that cosponsored one of the bills.

"They're literally trying to hack your brain. They're trying to read your mind and what you want," he said. "I think this is happening all the time, it's just really hard to catch."

The package of bills proposed by California lawmakers to regulate AI responds to a call by Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, D-Salinas, following elections last fall to focus on measures to address the cost of living.

One bill introduced by Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, a Democrat representing Davis, would make it easier for the California attorney general to pursue lawsuits against companies that use a pricing algorithm trained on nonpublic competitor data. Another bill would ban use of algorithms that personalize prices based on perceived characteristics or personal data.

One more, Senate Bill 52, would ban use of algorithms that set prices for rental properties and allow tenants to sue their landlord if they discover use of the technology. The proposal follows the filing of an antitrust lawsuit by eight states against RealPage, a Texas company whose software is used to set rental prices. A 2020 investigation by The Markup and The New York Times found that RealPage used faulty algorithms to automate tenant background checks, falsely accusing people of crimes and denying them a

place to live.

State Sen. Melissa Hurtado, a Democrat representing Bakersfield, also reintroduced a bill to prevent algorithmic pricing. The Senate Judiciary Committee criticized the previous version of the bill last year because the attorney general already has the power to file suits for violating state antitrust law.

And, finally, Assembly Bill 446 would make it unlawful for retailers to use personal information or make predictions about them based on appearance in order to change the price of goods sold in a retail store. In the rollout of the bill, author Assemblyman Chris Ward cited a $5 million settlement with Target following a lawsuit by San Diego County where customers saw higher prices on the Target app if they were in the parking lot.

The San Diego Democrat fears that face recognition in tandem with electronic shelving in grocery stores could lead to a future where

prices are made on the spot based on a person's appearance or physical characteristics.

In a letter to Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the U.S., members of Congress also expressed concern about the potential for tech-enabled price gouging based on the time of day or weather.

Tweaking and targeting prices can lead to revenue growth of 2% to 5%, according to an initial Federal Trade Commission report released days before the end of the Biden administration. For example, a company could target first-time parents or car buyers with higher priced items or make inferences about a person based on their location or IP address.

Consumer protection is a primary goal of state lawmakers interested in regulating AI, according to a recent analysis by the National Conference of State Legislatures. As Congress fails to act and policy varies wildly from one presidential admin-

istration to another, state lawmakers are stepping up.

The State of State Tech Policy report published in December by NYU's Center for Social Media and Politics found a 163% increase in tech policy proposals by state lawmakers last year compared to 2023. That trend is driven by one-party control in the vast majority of state houses across the country.

In other legislation intended to protect customers, one bill would require disclosure if AI is used to alter the images you see on the real estate website Trulia, and another would require health insurance companies to disclose the number of claims they deny using AI every month. Class action lawsuits filed in 2023 allege that UnitedHealthcare and Cigna used AI to deny people health care services.

UnitedHealthcare and Cigna deny those allegations.

A recent analysis by the National Conference of State Legislatures found

that lawmakers in about a dozen states proposed bills to regulate the use of AI in health care.

Between the pressures of a budget deficit, wanting to keep businesses in California, the governor's future political ambitions and debate over whether regulation will stifle innovation, lawmakers will have to predict whether Gov. Gavin Newsom may veto AI bills. That is probably part of the reason why a number of them focus on kitchen table issues like whether the tech can raise the price of eggs or housing.

When you look at the slate of 30 AI bills proposed by California lawmakers, there's a clear focus on kitchen table issues such as how AI can facilitate price gouging or raise prices in grocery stores, said Vinhcent Le, who until recently was part of the Consumer Privacy Protection Agency board. Le led CPPA board efforts to create rules that require protections for California residents from AI. He now works at Tech Equity, a nonprofit that is a supporter of one of the bills to prevent algorithms from setting prices.

"I'm pretty excited about the bills we've seen so far but the big questions are where is the governor going to be on these bills and where will the federal government take action and potentially preempt in the policy space," Le said.

Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve trail restoration work begins

During the Eaton Fire, the U.S. Forest Service and CalFIRE installed dozer lines as a means to protect property from the fire. These dozer lines were installed throughout the Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve and left considerable damage, according to Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik. On Monday, contractors hired by the City of Monrovia began trail restoration work in these damaged areas of the Hillside Wilderness Preserve. Work will include reshaping certain trails to eliminate

uneven and loose surfaces, reestablishing single-track trails by reinforcing edges with retention barriers, and installing natural rolling drains and water bars along the main trail to control erosion from future rain events. The restoration work is expected to continue over the next few weeks. During this time, some trails may be intermittently closed to ensure the safety of both workers and visitors. Residents are advised to stay informed about trail conditions and avoid closed areas for their safety, especially when crews are working. Visitors should follow the posted signage.

RUHS’ Whole Person Health Score validated by research group

The Whole Person Health Score, a patient assessment tool developed by Riverside University Health System (RUHS), was independently validated by a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital, county officials announced last week. The Whole Person Health Score (WPHS) goes beyond examining a person’s physical health; it strives to understand their emotional well-being, socioeconomic circumstances and use of available resources with a series of 28 targeted questions that paint a holistic health picture. Over the last year, the assessment was evaluated by the PROVE (Patient Reported Outcomes, Value and Experience) Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The center issued its validation in February 2025, finding that the tool is a reliable method for assessing factors that impact health. The evaluation was funded by RUHS –Behavioral Health. The PROVE Center analyzed metrics from a sample of 58,055 patients who took the survey between

August 2019 and February 2024 and found the WPHS to be a highly effective measure for determining a person’s needs. Work on the Whole Person Health Score was published in the New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst in August 2022 and the assessment was copyrighted in 2024. The RUHS team is working toward publishing peer-reviewed metrics and data as it continues to grow the WPHS model.

2 California bills seek to charge oil and gas companies for climate change

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

Insurance rates are rising quickly in California because of fires and floods linked to climate change and now, two new bills in Sacramento seek to make oil and gas companies pay.

The Affordable Insurance and Climate Recovery Act would create legal pathways for homeowners, insurance companies and the state insurance plan to sue and recover losses from oil and gas companies.

Melissa Romero, policy advocacy director for the nonprofit California Environmental Voters, said the companies misled lawmakers and the public.

"The one group that hasn't paid their fair share in all of this is oil and gas companies," Romero contended. "They knew since the '70s and the '80s that their products were creating runaway climate change.

They hid the science, they did nothing about it, and they continued to push an agenda that stymied a lot of efforts to switch over to clean energy."

The Western States Petroleum Association called the bills a way for politicians to capitalize on tragedy. The California Independent Petroleum Association said the real culprits for the fires are arsonists, environmental lawsuits that prevent forest management, and cuts to firefighting budgets.

Romero also supports the Polluters Pay Superfund bill, which would charge fossil fuel companies according to their role in climate change and invest in climate-resilient communities.

"It requires the California Environmental Protection Agency to do a report about the actual costs, both looking backwards and forwards, that climate change has

caused to California in terms of our infrastructure, disaster response and things like that," Romero outlined.

Proponents of the bills complained insurance ratepayers and taxpayers are hard hit by climate disasters. The state's FAIR Plan, the insurer of last resort, has assessed insurers and ratepayers $1 billion for Los Angeles wildfire claims so far. Meanwhile, State Farm is likely to get regulators' permission to raise homeowners' insurance rates by 22% after a hearing on April 8.

LAFD does controlled burn in Pacoima after fireworks explosion

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Firefighters conducted a controlled burn of a residence in Pacoima into the early morning hours Saturday following a large explosion that resulted from suspected illegal fireworks manufacturing.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell were on the scene Friday evening near 13556 Remington St., near the Golden State (5) Freeway and Terra Bella Street, where a massive explosion Thursday critically injured a man in his 20s who suffered first-degree burns over 50% of his body.

Investigators discovered chemicals used to make fireworks, some of which would react explosively to water, prompting the decision to do a controlled burn, McDonnell told reporters.

"All other options have been examined," Bass said of the controlled burn. "Public safety leaders have made clear that it is unsafe to enter

the property because of the unstable and dangerous materials inside. It is also unsafe to transport these materials elsewhere in the city due to the risk it would pose to all Angelenos."

Authorities evacuated 63 homes near the controlled burn, but some residents chose to remain in their homes, Los Angeles Fire Department Assistant Chief Guy Tomlinson told KTLA.

The evacuated homes were located between Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Terra Bella Street, the 5 Freeway and Pierce Street.

An evacuation shelter was established at the Ritchie Valens Recreation Center, 10736 Laurel Canyon Blvd. The number of people evacuated was unavailable, and as of Saturday morning residents were still not allowed back into their homes.

"This is a dangerous situation, and all members

of the public should avoid in or around this area until this situation is resolved," McDonnell said. "Anyone who interferes with this operation will be subject to arrest."

Most people who evacuated were allowed to return Saturday starting at 5 p.m. with the exception of those who live on Remick Street between Gain Street and Remington, the LAPD announced on X.

Prior to the controlled burn, LAFD crews covered buildings in the area with protective thermal gel. A metal chain-link fence was set up to contain airborne debris from landing on buildings or people, according to published reports.

McDonnell said a bomb squad investigation found chemical powders, containers and other materials affiliated with pyrotechnics, which was evidence of illegal fireworks production.

render this explosive device safe; we are going to use fire in a slow, methodic burn to alleviate that threat."

"This house is essentially a bomb," ATF Special Agent in Charge Kenneth told reporters. "We are basically notifying the public to

Firefighters responded at approximately 9 a.m. Thursday to the Remington Street home where they reported a partial collapse of the structure, LAFD spokeswoman Lyndsey Lantz

reported.

Initially more than two dozen homes were evacuated, and four dogs at the property were found safe. City officials have also requested that the Environmental Protection Agency measure the air and water quality as the operation continues, CBS 2 reported.

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is leading a criminal investigation into the explosion, McDonnell said.

LA County health officer orders dust control for fire debris removal

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

LosAngelesCounty

Health Officer Muntu Davis issued an updated order on dust control for property owners in the Palisades and Eaton burn who are not eligible for the government-run debris removal program, the Department of Public Health announced Monday.

The order provides guidelines on dust reduction for residents who are using private contractors to remove, transport and dispose of fire debris that resulted from the deadly January wildfires that scorched over 27,000 acres and destroyed or damaged more than 18,000 structures.

Property owners or their contractors must adhere to the following dust control measures, which "are essential to protect the health and wellbeing of those involved in fire debris removal and residents in surrounding areas," according to a health department statement.

Water and/or an approved dust palliative must be used at each fire-affected property to prevent dust nuisances.

Before removal work, all areas covered in ash and debris are required to be "prewatered using a fine spray nozzle to prevent splashing," officials said.

Transporting fire debris

All fire debris must be moved to an approved landfill in a way that prevents dust from escaping.

Debris loads, including concrete and metal, must be watered and covered with a tarp.

Ash and loose fire debris must be fully encapsulated with 10-mil plastic sheeting before loading and transport. A "mil" equates to a one-thousand of an inch and measures thickness. Plastic sheeting ranges from 1 to 100 mils.

End-of-day protocol

Any fire debris that remains at the end of each workday "must be consolidated, sufficiently wetted and/ or covered" to stop contaminated dust from migrating off-site.

Watering dry soil areas

To reduce dust emissions, all visibly dry, disturbed areas of surface soil must be watered during debris removal work.

'Trackout'prevention and cleanup

"Property owners or contractors must prevent dirt, dust, or debris from being tracked out onto public or private roads," health officials said. If "trackout" happens, crews must clean up the area immediately, especially at entrances and exits to the worksite.

All visible trackout must be removed from the site by the end of every workday.

Cleanup techniques that comply with the health order include "adequate wetting before or during the cleanup by either misting and manually sweeping or using a rotary brush or broom," officials said. "The use of blower devices or dry rotary brushes/ brooms to remove trackout is strictly prohibited."

It was unclear what penalties may apply for violations of the health officer's order.

Public Health Department officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Additional guidance and information about dust-mitigation requirements is online at publichealth.lacounty.gov/ media/Wildfire.

ORDINANCE NO. 7445

AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASADENA PROTECTING QUALIFYING INCOME ELIGIBLE TENANTS DIRECTLY FINANCIALLY IMPACTED BY THE EATON FIRE

WHEREAS, windstorms of extraordinary magnitude and widespread fires began on January 7, 2025, spreading quickly throughout the City of Pasadena and its surrounding communities (“Eaton Fire”); and

WHEREAS, on January 8, 2025, in response to the Eaton Fire, the City Manager of the City of Pasadena (“City”) declared a Local Emergency; and

WHEREAS, on January 13, 2025, the Pasadena City Council (“City Council”) ratified the Declaration of Local Emergency; and WHEREAS, the Eaton Fire burned more than 14,000 acres, destroyed approximately 9,400 structures, damaged over 1,000 structures, claimed 17 lives, and affected thousands of residents throughout the region, displacing numerous individuals from their homes; and

WHEREAS, the majority of the City’s residents are tenants; and WHEREAS, displaced households within the City and nearby communities add pressure to the rental housing market, and it is critical that the City protect residents from eviction and displacement; and WHEREAS, the tenants most in danger of eviction for nonpayment of rent in the wake of the Eaton Fire are those least able to weather the impact of job loss or reduction in income; and

WHEREAS, employees of businesses destroyed by the Eaton Fire, or those employed in homes destroyed by the Eaton Fire - including but not limited to, in-home childcare providers, housekeepers, landscapers, and home health aides/nurses, such as those providing dementia care - have lost part or all of their income; and

WHEREAS, the most common basis for eviction is nonpayment of rent; and

WHEREAS, the just cause eviction protections of Article XVIII of the City’s Charter, the Pasadena Fair and Equitable Housing Amendment (“Article XVIII”) do not extend to nonpayment of rent in the wake of a windstorm and fire event like the Eaton Fire, and do not apply to all residential rental units withing the City, as there are exemptions which place some tenants beyond the reach of Article XVIII; and

WHEREAS, Section 1820 of Article XVIII expressly reserves the power of City Council to “enact complimentary or non-conflicting ordinances or take other such actions within its powers, where such ordinances or actions are designed to comply with or further the terms and purposes of [the] Article.”; and

WHEREAS, part of the stated purpose of Article XVIII is to “promote neighborhood and community stability, healthy housing, and affordability for renters in Pasadena”; and

WHEREAS, on March 3, 2025, the Pasadena Rental Housing Board recommended that the City Council create an affirmative defense to eviction for tenants unable to pay rent due to the Eaton Fire; and

WHEREAS, on March 3, 2025, City Council directed staff to return with a draft affirmative defense to eviction for tenants unable to pay rent due to the Eaton Fire; and

WHEREAS, this Ordinance establishes a temporary, affirmative defense to an eviction proceeding or other action to recover possession of real property, and is therefore not a “general penal ordinance” as defined in Section 510 of the Pasadena City Charter, as it neither proscribes any activity nor sets punishment therefor; and

WHEREAS, protecting the City’s most vulnerable tenants in the wake of the Eaton Fire helps preserve the public health, order, and safety.

NOW, THEREFORE, The People of the City of Pasadena ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. This Ordinance, due to its length and corresponding cost of publication will be published by title and summary as permitted by Section 508 of the Pasadena City Charter. The approved summary of this Ordinance is as follows:

“Summary

Ordinance No. 7445, an uncodified ordinance, establishes a temporary, affirmative defense to eviction for non-payment of rent for income-eligible residential tenants who can prove a direct, financial impact from the Eaton Fire.

Ordinance No. 7445 shall take effect upon publication."

SECTION 2. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Ordinance.

2. The economic impact of the Eaton Fire resulted in the layoff, reduction of work hours, or reduction in pay of the Qualifying Tenant by his or her employer; or

3. A loss of the Qualifying Tenant's clients who were located in the Eaton Fire impacted areas resulting in a loss of income to the Qualifying Tenant.

B."Financial Impact" means a Qualifying Tenant's loss of at least ten percent (10%) of their average monthly household income immediately preceding January 7, 2025, as may be established by pay stubs, payment receipts, letters from employers, or other evidence from the three months before January 2025. Income replaced through unemployment insurance, emergency benefits, or any other source shall be considered when calculating a Qualifying Tenant's Financial Impact.

C."Landlord" means an owner of real property for residential rental purposes.

D."Protection Time Period" means the time period between January 15, 2025, through July 31, 2025, as may be revised, renewed, or repealed by City Council, during which a Qualifying Tenant is unable to pay rent due to Direct Financial Impacts related to the Eaton Fire.

E."Qualifying Tenant" means a residential tenant who resides in a rental unit or rents a mobilehome from a mobilehome owner (collectively, "rental unit") who must:

1. Have resided in their rental unit since before January 7, 2025;

2. Be "Income Eligible," which means their 2024 household income was equal to or less than 150 percent of the Area Median Income as established pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, or as otherwise defined in California Health and Safety Code section 50079.5; and

SECTION 4. Tenant Protections

A. Nonpayment of Rent. During the Protection Time Period and the Repayment Time Period, a Qualifying Tenant may assert an affirmative defense to an unlawful detainer action for nonpayment of Rent accrued during the Protection Time Period if the Qualifying Tenant:

1. Self-certifies in writing, under penalty of perjury, that they are unable to pay Rent due to Direct Financial Impacts related to the Eaton Fire, that they are Income Eligible, and that they have begun Income Replacement Efforts; and

2. Provides the aforementioned self-certification to the Landlord, or Landlord’s agent, within seven (7) days of each month their Rent is due, or within fourteen (14) days after this Ordinance going into effect for Rent due for the months of February 2025 and March 2025.

The Rent Stabilization Department will provide a self-certification form for optional use.

B. Repayment of Rent.

1. Repayment Time Period. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as forgiving or relieving a Qualifying Tenant of their obligation to pay Rent.

2. Partial Payments and Payment Plans. Qualifying Tenants and Landlords are encouraged to agree on a payment plan during the Protection Time Period, and nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a Landlord from requesting and accepting partial Rent payments, or a Qualifying Tenant from making such payments, if the Qualifying Tenant is financially able to do so.

3. Failure to Pay Back Rent Not Ground for Eviction. A Qualifying Tenant may assert an affirmative defense to an unlawful detainer action brought on the ground of inability to pay back unpaid Rent during the Protection Time Period, under the terms of a payment plan, or during the Repayment Time Period.

4. Application of Rental Payment. A Qualifying Tenant may assert an affirmative defense to an unlawful detainer action brought on the ground of inability to pay Rent during the Protection Time Period or the Repayment Time Period if a Landlord applies a rental payment to any Rental Debt other than to the prospective month's Rent, or such other month’s Rent or Rental Debt that the Qualifying Tenant specifies, unless the Qualifying Tenant has agreed in writing to allow the payment to be otherwise applied. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as preventing a Landlord from applying aid, such as Eaton Fire aid or governmental Rent relief payments made on behalf of Qualifying Tenants, to a Qualifying Tenant’s Rental Debt accrued during the Protection Time Period.

SECTION 5. Remedies

A. Affirmative Defense. Any protections provided under this Ordinance shall constitute an affirmative defense for a Qualifying Tenant in any unlawful detainer action brought pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 1161, as amended, or Section 1806(a)(1) of Article XVIII, as applicable, and any other civil action seeking possession of a residential rental unit based on nonpayment during the Protection Time Period and the Repayment Time Period, or seeking repayment of Rental Debt during the Protection Time Period and the Repayment Time Period. The Qualifying Tenant shall have the burden to prove the factual basis of their affirmative defense, including the timeliness and merit of any self-certification of a Direct Financial Impact related to the Eaton Fire made pursuant to this Ordinance. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to preclude a Landlord from filing an unlawful detainer action if a selfcertification is untimely or if the Landlord reasonably believes that a Qualifying Tenant’s self-certification is materially false, incorrect, or fraudulent. Said affirmative defenses shall survive the termination or expiration of this Ordinance.

B. Nonexclusive Remedies and Penalties. The remedies provided in this Ordinance are not exclusive, and nothing in this Ordinance shall preclude a Qualifying Tenant from seeking any other remedies or penalties available at law or in equity.

SECTION 6. Relation to Other Laws

This Ordinance shall not be read in any way to (a) adversely af-

SECTION 8.

James Wong starts as Pasadena's new housing director

LongtimePasadena

Housing Department

employee James Wong is the agency's new director, city officials announced Monday.

Wong moves into the lead position after serving as acting director of housing and a senior project manager with the department since 2004. Wong's selection came after a nationwide search that officials said attracted many well-qualified candidates.

City Manager Miguel Márquez selected Wong, whose tenure started Monday. Wong will oversee a department with an annual budget of $46.3 million and 91 full-time employees, according to a city statement.

"Jim will be a tremendous asset to our city as the director of housing due to his strong background in housing administration, a proven track record of delivering critical housing programs, and being a respected presence within the regional housing community," Márquez said in a statement. Jim works effectively with both the community he serves and his team, leveraging their collective expertise to develop creative solutions

to our many complicated housing challenges."

Wong said he is "grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the city of Pasadena in this new capacity."

Wong has more than four decades of experience in housing programs and administration, including 35 years with the city of

Pasadena where he started as program coordinator for a homebuyer assistance loan program.

He has a bachelor of science degree in economics and a master’s in architecture and urban planning from UCLA, officials said. An avid music collector, Wong enjoys scouring used vinyl bins in Pasadena.

phase of LA wildfire recovery and was the largest removal operation of wildfire hazardous materials in EPA history. The effort received support from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California state agencies and local governments' public works and public safety departments.

More information about the EPA’s hazardous material removal operations at the agency’s 2025 California Wildfires website.

Azusa Mayor Robert Gonzalez released a statement Feb. 5 on the Lario site that followed a Feb. 3 City Council meeting where EPA officials gave a presentation about the hazardous waste operation.

"The Lario site is federallyowned and operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and has been designated as a household hazardous item collection site," Gonzalez said.

"EPA Representatives were present to listen to public comments and address key questions by the City Council.

"The council has been informed that operations at the Lario site are ongoing. As a result, we are demanding assurances to ensure accountability as these operations continue. However, the EPA has assured us that Phase 2 will not take place at the Lario Site.

"My colleagues and I remain committed to advo-

Hazardous waste

cating for robust safety measures to protect our community, residents, and the quality of our air, water, and soil," Gonzalez said.

Azusa and a number of neighboring cities publicly opposed using Lario Park to process the hazardous fire waste.

“While the cities are completely in solidarity with our neighboring communities, we are extremely disappointed with the lack of respect to our local residents for not being notified of the EPA’s cleanup efforts and having toxic materials transported to our backyards,” according to a city of Duarte statement.

“I was disappointed to learn that Lario Park was selected as the site for the

Eaton Fire hazardous waste cleanup, with no advanced warning or opportunity for community input,” Arcadia Mayor Michael Cao said in a statement in late January.

“The wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County must be cleaned up, but I cannot understand how trucking hazardous waste through so many vulnerable communities, and placing near homes and schools, is the best possible option.”

Officials from Irwindale and Baldwin Park also joined in opposing the Lario staging site.

Currently Phase 2 debris removal is underway in burn areas. That work entails moving debris from destroyed buildings and wildfire ash to approved landfills.

After LA blazes, experts weigh in on fireproofing your house

By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

As Los Angeles starts to recover from the firestorm, people are looking for ways to harden their homes against future mega-blazes.

Experts said the massive destruction from the Palisades and Eaton fires has some people discouraged, thinking there is nothing they can do to defend their homes.

"Home survival is down to making sure that the exterior of the home cannot carry ignition," Steinberg explained. "By that we mean non-combustible roofing, siding, good windows that aren't going to crack under heat."

The home ignition zone is the five-foot area around your structure, so anything

Michele Steinberg, wildfire division director for the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association, said in fact, homeowners can significantly reduce their risk.

within the perimeter, including decks, porches, and fences, needs to be made of non-combustible material. Screens on vents work to prevent embers from being sucked up into the home.

California's statewide building code is considered one of the strongest in the country. It specifies how buildings should be designed and maintained and how they should be sited with appropriate defensible

space. Steinberg added the state helps people find firesafe materials.

"They actually list products that meet those standards," Steinberg pointed out. "You can actually find manufacturers and people that have provided those products on the California State Fire Marshal's website."

Experts also cautioned against putting dry wood mulch or climbing vegetation up against the house.

services after the fires.”

In the weeks since one of the nation’s costliest natural disasters, it’s become evident that the Los Angeles wildfires have not only displaced people who had dug themselves out of homelessness and gotten into housing, but also dealt a blow to the region’s homelessness response. That far-reaching system of care formed by government agencies and local nonprofits has been buoyed by billions of dollars from the city, county, and state in recent years to combat California’s homelessness epidemic.

Now, wildfires are adding pressure to a system already under tremendous strain in getting chronically homeless people indoors. Homeless service operators and street medicine providers have been putting pressure on state and local leaders to allocate more funding to house people on the streets, but they are running up against competing demands for wildfire recovery — and tighter budgets.

“Many of the people we work with have already lost everything and they’re trying to rebuild their lives, and now there’s a whole other group of people doing the same thing and competing for the same resources,” said Jennifer Hark Dietz a licensed clinical social worker and the CEO of PATH, which provides services and housing for homeless people.

In recent years, state and local leaders have leveraged unprecedented investments to open thousands of shelters and temporary and perma-

nent units. That’s helped Los Angeles County and the state notch meaningful gains, even as more than 187,000 people remain homeless in California, including 75,000 people across Los Angeles County.

The 2024 homelessness tally showed a 45% increase in the number of people who in the past year moved off the streets into permanent housing, and the number who moved from tents into temporary housing rose 32%, according to Va Lecia Adams Kellum, CEO of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which leads the countywide homelessness response system. That’s nearly 30,000 permanent housing placements across Los Angeles County.

And while homelessness rose 18% nationwide from 2023 to 2024, according to the most recent federal estimate, it increased only 3% in California. More strikingly, Los Angeles County reduced overall homelessness, albeit slightly.

The number of people living outside fell 5.1% in Los Angeles County, and in the city of Los Angeles, the number of unsheltered people dropped 10.4%.

That hard-fought progress is now in peril as the wildfires displaced tens of thousands of Los Angeles residents and destroyed more than 16,000 structures. Affordable housing, already in short supply, is being further strained.

short walk away where you could meditate and watch the sunset.

“It was away from Skid Row. I knew I was safe,” Rosales said. “That’s all gone now.”

Residents say they’re grateful they aren’t on the streets, but anxiety grows by the day, especially for queer and transgender people who had formed a community there.

“It’s constant stress of not knowing if I’m going to be in a stable housing situation,” said Alexandria Castaneda, 29, who was addicted to meth but got sober after getting indoors.

tional homelessness funding as a member of the Senate budget committee. While Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration says the state has plowed an unprecedented $27 billion into local homelessness response and prevention initiatives, he didn’t include any new money for battling the homelessness crisis in his proposal this year.

“Unfortunately, this year we didn’t see additional money being placed into that fund,” Pérez said. “But we have to keep making these investments.”

they won’t be prioritized for placements, despite losing their homes and qualifying for state and local homelessness initiatives to get people indoors. Many homeless people who have long waited for housing will be forced to wait even longer, as more displaced people face homelessness and compete for costly housing.

Homeless Again

It’s unclear how many formerly homeless people are homeless again. Street medicine providers and other front-line workers say some are temporarily living in hotels, while others moved in with friends or family members.

There’s evidence that some have fallen back into homelessness.

“We’re already seeing some people have moved into their vehicles because they don’t have the money to pay

for even temporary housing,” Adams Kellum said. “Before the fires, we were already seeing very vulnerable people unable to manage their rents, so this competition for housing puts people at even greater risk for homelessness.”

Adams Kellum said coordinating resources and services across a vast region has led to major progress but that more money is needed to help move people from shortterm to permanent housing.

For now, residents of the burned-down Art House will be allowed to reside in an empty building in Santa Fe Springs that the nonprofit had planned to redevelop for residential treatment, Navarro said. He said the nonprofit is looking for more stable housing for those displaced but that rehousing them at Art House remains out of reach for now.

Residents grieve the loss of the Art House’s transformative setting, which they call an “empowerment campus.” Brown said that he has embraced that ethos, even as he has been displaced and remains traumatized by the wildfires. He is currently working two jobs and taking classes toward a bachelor’s degree.

Paul Rosales, a 24-yearold in recovery from meth, said Art House was a place of healing. “That’s where I found myself; it’s where I built my recovery. There was a beautiful orange tree, and the mountains were just a

Sarah Hoppmeyer, chief program officer for Union Station Homeless Services, which provides housing for people on the streets, said she worries about dwindling resources. She and other providers stressed the importance of not overlooking people currently stuck in homelessness, many of whom have been waiting years for housing.

“We don’t want the wildfires to de-prioritize people who were already experiencing homelessness,” she said.

Elected leaders have pledged to preserve the gains Los Angeles County has made in reducing homelessness by allocating existing resources and demanding more. Several voter-approved initiatives in Los Angeles are critical, they say, but so too is lobbying for state support.

“Without continued and expanded support and resources, we risk losing ground” in reducing the number of people living on the streets, said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, chair of the county board.

Previous massive fires have led to increases in homelessness, including in 2018 in Sonoma County and in 2024 on Maui, whose homelessness rate soared the year after fires.

State Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, a Democrat whose district includes parts of Los Angeles County that burned in the wildfires, said she will continue pressing for addi-

Newsom said Monday the state should not continue to “fund failure.” He said he is open to negotiations with cities, counties, and state lawmakers so long as any new homelessness funding comes with greater accountability, meaning that local governments use the money to clear encampments, dismantle tents, and reduce unsheltered homelessness.

Newsom officials stressed that the state budget is tight — it’s narrowly balanced and under greater strain than in previous years, with threats from the Trump administration and the potential loss of critical federal funding for programs such as Medicaid. The governor said he is “hopeful that we can land on an agreement,” but he warned the state could claw back funding if local governments aren’t adequately addressing street homelessness.

“We have been too permissive as it relates to encampments and tents. We need them cleaned up,” Newsom said. “We’re providing unprecedented support. Now we need to see unprecedented results.”

Assembly member John Harabedian, another Los Angeles-area Democrat, said additional homelessness spending is critical for wildfire victims and to continue combating the crisis statewide.

“Those folks who were already homeless, who just got into some sort of housing stability but then lost it again — they’re going to need immediate attention,” he said. “Our system is failing people.”
