LA County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger responds to reports of residents not receiving text evacuation alerts, and shares updates on rebuilding efforts.

A new wildfire ignites in Los Angeles County. Kathryn Barger, chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, joins Meet the Press NOW to discuss the road to recovery after the wildfires in California.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger responded to comments made by the CEO of Southern California Edison about the winds not being strong enough to shut off power to an Altadena transmission tower.

Thousands of structures have been affected in what is already the most destructive firestorms in the city’s history. There have been multiple wildfires raging across Los Angeles County, including the monstrous Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas of L.A. County, as well as the Eaton Fire in Pasadena and Altadena.

Amid a fifth consecutive day of fires in her county, Barger posted a two-page letter addressed to Trump in his capacity as president-elect.

With a visit to the L.A. area, Trump could fulfill one of the unwritten rules of being a president: showing compassion for families who have lost everything.

During a press conference updating the public on the scale of the disaster and what emergency crews and officials were doing to help, Kathryn Barger, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, singled out the crowdfunding platform.

Los Angeles County officials are calling for an independent investigation to review the emergency alert system used during the recent Eaton and Palisades Fires to warn residents to evacuate.

Parched Southern California endured more dangerous winds on Wednesday but could get some needed rain this weekend, dampening prospects of another round of deadly wildfires while raising the possibility of new challenges like toxic ash runoff.

Firefighters fought to maintain the upper hand on a huge and rapidly moving wildfire that swept through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles and resulted in more than 50,000 people being put under evacuation orders or warnings.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, as well as other local officials, said they were confident that President-elect Trump would visit the region.

Los Angeles County supervisors are looking into the alert system after residents in the Eaton Fire area were not alerted until several hours after the blaze had started.
