Rebuild:LA Episode 075: The Next Few Months Will Tell Us If The Palisades and Altadena Will Come Back with POLITICO’s Liam Dillon
Send us Fan Mail The second part of our two-part series with investigative reporter Liam Dillon has us looking forward. Dillon’s stories in the Los Angeles Times and POLITICO have examined the devastation left by the last 8 years of mega-fires in California. Dillon has looked at the Tubbs Fire that laid waste to Santa Rosa, and the Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise, among many others. He’s found that only 38% of the Californians who were burned out in the fires have rebuilt their ...

Rebuild:LA Episode 074: Why Are The Palisades and Altadena So Slow to Recover with Politico’s Liam Dillon
Send us Fan Mail 38%. That’s the surprisingly small percentage of residents who have rebuilt after wildfires in California since 2017. Recent building permit requests and housing starts in Pacific Palisades and Altadena are even smaller in number. What many elected officials promised would be the fastest recovery on record after the January 2025 Firestorm has not materialized. Why? That’s what host Cameron Barrett asked journalist Liam Dillon this week on Rebuild:LA. He’s been writing on poli...

The conversation was mostly about the first part of his title - infrastructure. What was LA doing to repair the Palisades and ensure it could withstand the ongoing threat from wildfires?

Rebuild:LA Episode 072: Will Los Angeles Finally See the Federal Disaster Relief Dollars Promised to Us? With LA Deputy Mayor Randall Winston (Part I)
Send us Fan Mail On April 22, 2026, LA Mayor Karen Bass and LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Their purpose? To find out when long-promised federal disaster recovery funds would arrive to help Los Angeles rebuild. Without those dollars, LA can’t repair the roads in the Palisades, underground electrical power lines, fix infrastructure destroyed in the firefight, or continue to help Palisadians return to thei...

Episode 071: How Do You Rebuild Community with Juliet Curry of the Palisades Community Renewal Center
Send us Fan Mail Community. It’s a hard thing to define, and even harder to quantify. When the Palisades Fire swept through Los Angeles and Malibu, people didn’t just lose their homes, their schools, churches, and synagogues, their coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Perhaps most importantly, they lost each other - they lost community. Host Cameron Barrett speaks with Juliet Curry, the Director of the Palisades Community Renewal Center, about community this week. Curry and her dedi...

Rebuild:LA Episode 070: The New LAFD Ambassador to the Palisades Is Ready and Waiting to Help You Rebuild
Send us Fan Mail 15 months after the Palisades Fire, the Los Angeles City Fire Department is still under a microscope regarding their response times, emergency notifications to residents, and pre-deployment decisions. But that's not stopping them from taking an active role in helping residents get permits and permissions to rebuild. The fire department is integral in the process, and with more than 6,000 structures lost to the fire, it was clear to the LAFD and city government as a whole that...

Rebuild:LA Episode 069: Can We Actually Build a Fireproof House? Gary Hendren of S.A.M. House Might Have Already Invented One
Send us Fan Mail In this day of increasing climate disasters, it might be time to start thinking outside the wood frame box when it comes to building homes in the Wildland Urban Interface. At least that’s what Gary Hendren from S.A.M. House is hoping people will do when they’re ready to rebuild their homes in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Malibu. On this week’s episode, host Cameron Barrett talks to Hendren about the new building material he’s invented that has passed rigorous wind and fir...

Rebuild:LA Episode 068: What Will Become of the Palisades Bowl with Jon Brown
Send us Fan Mail It was more than a year ago (Episodes 019 and 020) when we first met Jon Brown and heard his story of escape and survival. Jon and his wife built their dream home in the Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates, better known as the Palisades Bowl, and were living their dream. They were just steps from the Pacific Ocean, their young children attended the perfect elementary school, and they were surrounded by their friends and the community they loved. But the Palisades Fire ended...
