An Inside Look at Phase 2 Debris Removal 

New video PSAs available for media use

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is swiftly and safely removing fire and ash debris from neighborhoods impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires. This is a key step on the road to recovery and rebuilding.

The six public service announcement (PSA) videos below explain what residents who opt-in to the government-run debris removal program can expect to see on their property and help answer some health and safety concerns from other community members.

We are sharing these videos with the media because we hope you will use them as PSAs, include them in your broadcast and online stories, and share them via social media to help LA County residents know what to expect as recovery efforts continue.

Thank you for your help in getting this information out to those who need it.

Every Truckload

As Phase 2 Private Property Debris Removal ramps up, more trucks will be on the road. But every truckload means one step closer to recovery.

We hope that together we can spread awareness of these important messages to those in your audience impacted by the devastating fires.
PSAs are available for your use as you see fit. Please let us know if you have questions or if we can help support in any way.
