Rebuild:LA

When the firestorms of January 2025 raged through the Pacific Palisades and Altadena, they left 31 people dead and historic destruction in their wake. Recovery will be a long, uphill road, and rebuilding will take years and dedicated planning. This podcast takes a deep dive into the circumstances that led to the fires, how people can prepare for future wildfires - which are inevitable - and how Angeleños can come together to rebuild our beautiful city.

Rebuild:LA is the proud winner of the 2025 Award of Excellence from the Communicator Awards, the 2025 Silver W3 Award, and the 2026 Silver NYX Award for podcasting!
