STORYLINE:
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass tours the staging area as the city prepares to reduce toxic runoff from burned debris during the rain expected to hit this weekend.
The mayor issued an executive order to expedite cleanup efforts in burn areas and mitigate the environmental impacts of fire-related pollutants.
She ordered crews to remove vegetation, shore up hillsides, install barriers and reinforce roads ahead of the possible weekend rain, which could create mud and debris flows.
“We are beginning in a proactive way in anticipation of rain to make sure that if rain does come, that it doesn’t add further to the crisis that we’ve been in.
