The Rolling Hills Estates landslide in July made some homes unlivable. Rancho Palos Verdes is trying to secure state and federal aid after three more slides.
The city of Rancho Palos Verdes has declared a local emergency in response to landslides that have damaged several buildings and the threat of an unusually wet winter that may trigger more damage in the upscale community on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Oct. 3 declaration by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council comes after twelve townhomes in nearby Rolling Hills Estates were red-tagged in July and evacuated after landslides made them unsafe.
Downtown Los Angeles recorded more than 27 inches of rain last winter, surpassing famously wet cities such as Portland and Seattle. Tropical Storm Hilary brought even more rain, with Long Beach Airport reporting 2.62 inches on Aug. 20, dwarfing the historical record for that day. Significantly more landslide movement has been reported since the start of this summer in Portuguese Bend, Abalone Cove and Klondike Canyon. There have been no reported injuries from the slides.
