A worsening landslide in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, has prompted Southern California Edison (SCE) to indefinitely cut power to 140 homes and plans to shut off power to an additional 105 homes for varying durations. The landslide, which has accelerated following heavy rains in spring 2023, has damaged homes, roads, and infrastructure across 680 acres. City officials have issued evacuation warnings and set up emergency centers to assist affected residents. Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn has committed $5 million in aid and called on Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency. Hahn emphasized the unprecedented nature of the crisis, stating that the burden should not fall solely on the city.
