todays updatesFive Days Left of ROE Forms [ [link removed] ]

*This is the final week to submit your Right of Entry form to take advantage of the government debris removal program—at no out-of-pocket cost to you. Opting in keeps your debris removal options open.*

Submit the Right of Entry form here [ [link removed] ]. The form is available in Spanish, [ [link removed] ] Russian [ [link removed] ], Armenian [ [link removed] ], Korean [ [link removed] ], and Simplified Chinese [ [link removed] ].

*Opting-Out: *If you choose to opt-out of the government debris removal program, you must submit an opt-out form here [ [link removed] ]. Property owners who choose to hire private contractors for fire debris removal can then receive an Eaton and Palisades Fire Debris Removal permit via the County’s EPIC-LA system [ [link removed] ]. This permit allows home and business owners—and their authorized private contractors—to manage their own debris removal efforts while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal safety and environmental standards. For more details, click here [ [link removed] ].   

The Private Property Debris Removal Program, which includes the Right of Entry Opt-In and Opt-Out process, is for residential property owners.

However, program eligibility is still being determined for commercial and industrial properties, condos, town houses, and mobile home parks. These groups are encouraged to submit a Right of Entry application by *March 31, 2025* to potentially be considered for inclusion in the program.
