The few houses in L A County that have not been removed are awaiting private contractors … who were at times overloaded with work commitments.
The state’s debris removal operation included crews removing asbestos and hazmat material.
Crews then removed burnt metal, concrete, ash contaminated soil.
and other debris from each participating property.
Contractors then returned to each site to collect soil samples for testing and analysis at state certified laboratories.
Fiber rolls and biodegradable mulch were then applied … as erosion control measures.

And finally today … more news about disasters and Malibu.
A pair of researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have combed through records from insurance companies … and compared that data to records of El Ninos in the Pacific Ocean.
40 years of insurance data against climate and water data shows that Malibu and an area north of San Frnacisoco both share the brunt of El Nino flood damage.
The research confirms a connection between extreme weather events in Malibu and El Niño.
The paper of Corringham’s and Cayan’s, “The Effect of El Niño on Flood Damages in the Western United States,” was published in the July 2019 edition of the American Meteorological Society’s journal Weather, Climate, and Society.
