Due to accelerating land movement exacerbated by above-average rainfall, over 240 residents on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, including 50 in Rolling Hills, will face indefinite power shutoffs by SoCal Edison starting Wednesday. Concurrently, SoCal Gas has cut service to 35 homes in the same region, with 224 homes total now without gas. The area, situated on an ancient landslide complex reactivated in the 1950s, is moving up to 88 times faster than last year, posing significant public safety risks. Rancho Palos Verdes recently declared a state of emergency, seeking federal aid to stabilize the land and restore services. Rolling Hills officials are collaborating with utility companies to find engineering solutions, though residents express concerns over the motives behind the shutoffs. SoCalGas has pledged $50,000 to aid affected families, highlighting that not all residents are affluent despite the region's reputation.
