The ceremony marked the start of debris removal at the Outterbridges’ property — the final private property assigned to USACE in the Eaton Fire recovery area.

    A geotechnical engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District assesses the northeast side of an Environmental Protection Agency wildfire debris removal transfer site Feb. 10 near Topanga Canyon in Malibu, California.

    USACE partners with state, county to develop state-of-the-art modeling to predict post-fire flood risks

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District is working overtime to ensure communities devastated by recent wildfires are informed on potential debris flows this storm season. USACE’s LA District is partnering with Los Angeles County and the California Department of Water Resources to assess and mitigate flood risks in areas affected by wildfires – particularly in the recent Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires – under USACE’s Public Law 84-99 authority.
