Los Angeles Wildfires Devastate City, Leaving Trail of Destruction in Wake
ai generated text
The wildfires in Los Angeles County have resulted in a significant loss of life, with at least 10 reported deaths. The damage to property is substantial, with estimates suggesting that over 10,000 buildings have been destroyed. The economic impact is also substantial, with the total damage estimated to be around $150 billion.
The fact that we have such a low number of fatalities despite the massive property losses is a testament to the work of fire chiefs and government officials who have been timely.
We haven't had any requests for further support. But Australia always stands ready to provide support to our friends in times of need.
We're facing a historic natural disaster. And I think that can't be stated strong enough.
Another round of gusty northeast winds will develop through today into Sunday, then a stronger offshore wind event will likely develop between Monday night and Wednesday.
This is NOT an evacuation alert. An evacuation warning has been issued to a zone adjacent to UCLA due to the Palisades fire.
I told the governor, local officials, spare no expense to do what they need to do and contain these fires.
If you are returning home, please drive SLOWLY and watch the road. Firefighters are still working in some damaged areas.
We're throwing everything at our disposal – including our National Guard service members – to protect communities in the days to come.
We must not politicize human tragedy or spread disinformation from the sidelines.
