California has allocated $2.5 billion to aid the Los Angeles region in recovering from recent devastating wildfires. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the relief package into law following bipartisan support from the state Legislature. The funding will support emergency disaster response efforts, including evacuations, sheltering survivors, and hazardous waste removal.
In addition to the $2.5 billion, the legislation includes $4 million to expedite home rebuilding approvals for local governments and $1 million to assist school districts in rebuilding facilities.
