Los Angeles Fire Response
Published:
DWR watershed experts and engineers meet with over 500 California Conservation Corps members at the Rose Bowl deployed to LA county.
DWR is deploying over 30 engineers, watershed experts, and support staff to the LA region to direct fire mitigation work in burn scars and protect downstream communities. Our teams are working with over 500 California Conservation Corps members to assess damaged sites, determine what types of Emergency Protective Measures are needed for watershed protection, and direct crews to place those materials to reduce contamination into waterways and control erosion. This critical work will help ensure the region is ready for any weather the region may see for the rest of this winter.
