Santa Monica declares local state of emergency, curfew for residents in evacuation zones​

Santa Monica city leaders have declared a local state of emergency as the Palisades Fire continues to burn nearby.

Part of the declaration is a potential curfew for all areas that are within mandatory evacuation zones, lasting from sunset to sunrise as long as the emergency remains in effect, according to a statement from the city. They say that the curfew will allow for firefighters to better facilitate a response to the fire.

City Council members will hold a special meeting within a week's time to determine if the orders are ratified.

"The Palisades Fire is currently impacting neighborhoods in the northern part of Santa Monica with approximately 2,472 households under a mandatory evacuation order within the city of Santa Monica and 8,338 under a voluntary evacuation warning," Mayor Lana Negrete said. "This emergency order further assists our first responders and further protects residents as we weather this regional crisis and, ultimately, begin and support recovery efforts."

They also note that after consulting with SMPD Chief Ramon Batista, a curfew would be beneficial in terms of limiting the "continued threat of theft and looting in areas subject to mandatory evacuation orders."

While the fire continues to rage, consuming more than 15,000 acres and some 300 structures in just over 24 hours, Santa Monica Police Department officers have been deployed to support in those evacuation efforts.

On top of the curfew, the emergency order will allow impacted schools to operate within non-residential zones in Santa Monica city limits, will suspend preferential parking rules and enforcement for residents displaced by the fire, prohibit price gouging for emergency goods and services, restrict evictions of tenants who are providing accommodation to those displaced by evacuation orders and prohibit construction in evacuation areas.

Alright, didn't know that - I was expecting to see half of LA in flames by the way people were acting in here last night.
Oh, not immediately, but unless the winds die down and they can get some water going we're going to see that happen sooner or later.
How many in captivity do we have so we can at least maintain their genetics
Enough, I think. Looks like UC Davis managed to get a breeding program going in time. I know people like to shit on California's universities due to the nonsense the humanities departments spew out but the actual scientific sides are rock-solid. UC Davis is a very good ag/wildlife school, UCI is one of the top biomed places in the country, and UC Berkeley's physics department is a DoD/DoE R&D black site in all but name and has been since the Manhattan Project.
 
Is it bad that I don't care?
I mean as long as you're not actively happy about it it's probably fine, worse disasters happen on the daily that we don't hear about because they happen in less famous places (like the valencia floods that killed 200+ ppl being overshadowed by hurricane milton killing 20) and you cant care about everything, just dont be an edgelord about it

12 arrested for looting
 
Any fire coverage that actually shows the fires consistently and is not interrupted by random faggot talking heads repeating the same garbage every 5 minutes?
I think the news stopped covering the "frontlines" of the fire because it shows how fucking bad LAFD is handling it
 
Maybe Spectrum will finally update their infrastructure in LA now that half of it has been razed to the ground and there's nothing in the way. Some nice, big, underground fiber trunks.
Your username is oddly fitting LA smoked raisins
Upside to having rebuild an entire city is that they're already full of illegals for all the construction work.
Houses and apartments will replaced with bug pods, California is in debt and LA is a shit hole. First US county ever to deliver millions of concrete tubes house fire survivors.
Let's face it LA is burning to the ground like Sodom and Gomorrah and architecture built by lost generation isn't going to be rebuilt not by zoomers or gen alphas.
California is in debt as is, so state itself cannot afford other than cheapest option possible: concrete bug pod complexes, shared communal bathrooms and toilets.
Electricity slowly spread to honey comb style complexes, same with running water.
Homeless population with quintuple and people will flee the county after losing everything.

Sure as shit this didn't appear in my 2025 bingo card, destruction and loss of life in biblical proportions
 
No, you're just retarded. Does a decrease in supply typically decrease prices?
No, but actually yes. The LAND didn't just sink into the ocean, its still there, just covered in ash. I imagine prices for these lots will of COURSE plummet, since you aren't buying a house, you are buying a box of ash.
NOW THIS DOESNT MEAN that the demon people who run LA won't just buy it all and make a massive "15 minute city". but I assure you those lots will go for cheap.
 
I had no idea about any of this, this is fucking hilarious. Didn't they have record breaking rains not too long ago?
Sure, but drought is the norm and you can’t fuck off because of one easy year,

LA has no capacity to provide freshwater for itself. It has no desalination capacity. 100% of LA’s water supply is stolen from Northern California farmers and pumped over a fucking mountain range.
 
You're assuming hood niggers know anything more about copper than that you can sell it for cash.
i think you would be surprised what erudite activities hood niggers get up to when they're finna make a dime on somebody else's property. probably some nigga who went to college in the neighborhood that knows how to melt that shit down.
