EATON AIR MONITORING UPDATE

 

DIAMOND BAR – The South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) continues its 
expanded air monitoring efforts in response to ongoing debris removal efforts near the Eaton and Palisades 
fire areas. Air monitoring will provide data for particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), air toxics (such as lead 
and arsenic), and asbestos in communities near the burn zones.

 

The public within and near the Eaton and Palisades burn areas is strongly encouraged to follow the safety 
precautions outlined by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to minimize the potential risk 
of exposure to ash, soot, and fire debris. Strong winds can carry ash and soot over a wider area, increasing the 
potential for exposure, so it is especially important to take extra care during weather fluctuations and windy 
conditions.

ROYAL OAKS LIFE PLAN 
COMMUNITY OFFICIALLY 
JOINS THE CITY OF DUARTE

Royal Oaks, a HumanGood life plan community, and the City of Duarte 
proudly announce the official annexation of Royal Oaks into the 
city—a milestone following dedicated efforts made by the city, as well as 
the residents and team members living and working at the community, 
respectively. 

The Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFC) 
unanimously approved the annexation on February 12, strengthening the 
community ties between Royal Oaks and Duarte.

“For 65 years, Royal Oaks has been home to many Duarte residents—
whether as part of our community or as dedicated team members,” said 
John Cochrane, President and CEO of HumanGood. “I want to extend my 
gratitude to our residents and team members for their determined advocacy 
that helped bring us to this moment.”

Since its founding in 1959, Royal Oaks has offered enriching and supportive 
living experiences and services for seniors including independent 
living, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing and short-stay rehabilitation. 
The annexation marks a new chapter, ensuring long-term stability 
and integration with Duarte’s municipal services.

"It is an exciting milestone as we officially welcome the Royal Oaks community 
into the City of Duarte," said Mayor Cesar A. Garcia. "This annexation 
strengthens our city, expands opportunities, and ensures our Royal 
Oaks residents have access to the exceptional services Duarte has to offer. 
We are grateful for the collaboration that made this possible and look forward 
to building a brighter future together."
