Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order aims to accelerate the undergrounding of electrical transmission wires in fire-ravaged areas of California, particularly the cities of Altadena, Malibu, and Pacific Palisades. The order suspends certain permitting and review requirements, allowing for quicker repairs and replacements of not just electric power lines but also gas, water, sewer, and telecommunication infrastructure. By burying utility lines and equipment, the state hopes to make neighborhoods more resilient against future wildfires while assisting residents in rebuilding their homes more swiftly after the devastating January fires.
We are determined to rebuild Altadena, Malibu, and Pacific Palisades stronger and more resilient than before.
Speeding up the pace that we rebuild our utility systems will help get survivors back home faster and prevent future fires.
