Trump’s Statement
The destruction wrought upon these fires is unlike anything that we’ve seen before. We are fighting hard to make the resources available to the people of Los Angeles who need their lives rebuilt,” Trump remarked at the press briefing. Trump even mentioned the need for collaboration between federal, state, and local agencies, whereby the monies could be utilized efficiently.
Community Impact
With thousands of acres burned, completely destroyed homes, and displaced multitude of residents, the firestorms have left the city with unparalleled devastation. The announcement is likely to have a good welcome and excited expression as leaders feel this could definitely accelerate recovery.
“This is really stuff requiring immediate attention of households who lost everything,” said Los Angeles Mayor Karen. Bass.
