Actual rebuilding after LAfires will not start immediately, even tho the mayor has expedited all on-site-rebuilding permits. Insurance approvals need to come thru first. And the above described shortages due to the hurricane clusterfuck in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
Which is a good thing. Because a heavy rain, as is very common in winter in Southern California, on the burnt hillsides is going to cause mudslides.
This article describes what happened near Santa Barbara in 2017/2018, after a fire had ravaged 10x as much area than the #LAfires , and even before it was put out, a mere 12.7mm of rain (0.5 inch) – but within 15 minutes and on a burned hillside – buried the village Montecito under metres of mud and debris.
