EATON FIRE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY: FAMILIES STILL DISPLACED 

State Assemblymember John Harabedian said 
“we are also gathered to remember the 31 lives 
lost and devastation in both the Eaton and 
Palisades fires,” 
Harabedian said the communities had forever 
changed. 
And although time has passed there is a lot 
of pain that remains. The emotion up here is 
real.” 
He said the community still needs answers to 
the story of losing his sister, properties in the 
fire and then eviction notices. 

“My mother just received an eviction notice 
the day before the anniversary of this fire,” 
he said. “So them not stepping up to pay for 
housing will leave us homeless, leave us destitute, 
and it’s something they [Edison] caused. 
It would be egregious to say against humanity 
that you burn someone down, killed our 
family members, killed my sister, and you will 
not step up to provide housing for what you 
created.” 

“ 

questions unanswered that night. 

“We have a good idea on how the fire started, 
we don’t have a definitive answer... we don’t 
know why it spread so rapidly, why people 
were not evacuated and why 19 of our neighbors 
family members died.”

One year after the Eaton Fire, local elected 
leaders and survivors gathered Tuesday to 
give their assessment of recovery saying, in 
part, that eight in 10 Eaton Fire families remained 
displaced, some running out of insurance 
housing coverage in the coming months 
and that 70 percent of insured survivors report 
delays and denials blocking recovery. 

The event held by The Eaton Fire Survivors 
Network (EFSN) a survivor-led community of 
over 10,000 Eaton and Palisades fire survivors, 
packed the The Collaboratory in Altadena. 

"This is an incredibly emotional day for me 
and I did not lose my home,” Los Angeles 
County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said. “Reliving 
what happened a year ago is devastating. 
For those that woke up knowing they had 
nothing to go home to.” 

Barger announced that her office would continue 
to hold insurance companies accountable 
and push them “to do right thing”, noting 
that State Farm among others, need to stop 
the delays. 

The Supervisor also said resources are needed 
to rebuild the community and called out all 
levels of government, “don’t change the rules 
in the middle of the game.” 

State Senator Sasha Renée Pérez echoed Barger 
statements adding that she wrote a letter 
to Southern California Edison saying they 
need to provide emergency housing relief to 
the community of Altadena. CEO of Southern 
California Edison Steven Powell had acknowledged 
that it was likely their equipment 
that caused the Eton Fire.
