City officials address massive landslide threatening homes in Rancho Palos Verdes

Amid an ongoing landslide that is threatening hundreds of homes in Rancho Palos Verdes, city officials said Tuesday an extra emergency proclamation will not be needed to fasttrack efforts and funding to address the shifting land. The approval comes after the city declared a local emergency due to an ongoing constant landslide that has destroyed homes, warped roadways and threatened to uproot life for many homeowners. At least two homes on the peninsula have been redtagged and deemed uninhabitable due to damage from recent rainfall. Many others have had their homes yellowtagged as sinkholes form, foundations shift, and cracks begin to appear in the walls. Its very stressful, Rancho Palos Verdes resident Nikki Noushkam told KTLAs Sandra Mitchell. I had to leave my home just this weekend. Between the broken sewer lines, the broken gas lines, water leaks and no water, I couldnt stay. KTLA s Jennifer McGraw reports on Feb. 27, 2024. Details:
