In response to devastating wildfires, California has approved a $2.5 billion aid package to assist with recovery efforts in the Los Angeles area. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bipartisan relief package, which is aimed at helping residents rebuild their homes, aid schools, and support local recovery initiatives. The decision comes amid urgent calls for action as evacuations loom and additional legal battles surrounding wildfire prevention policies continue. Despite this significant funding boost, a proposal for $1 billion directed towards ongoing wildfire prevention measures was rejected by state Democrats.
