The January 2025 wildfires were the most destructive natural disaster in LA County history. From the earliest fire weather warnings, Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath led emergency preparedness efforts—and continues to lead the County’s coordinated response. 

She advanced anti–price gouging protections, Countywide relief grants, and eviction protections to ensure residents and small businesses have the support they need to recover and move forward. 

Supervisor Horvath led the County’s coordination efforts with local, state, and federal partners including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to oversee the fastest debris cleanup in United States history. She’s also working to accelerate permitting in unincorporated communities so rebuilding can begin without delay. 

To ensure we rebuild safer and more sustainably, Supervisor Horvath established an independent Blue Ribbon Commission on Climate Action and Fire Safe Recovery—putting long-term resilience at the center of recovery.
