New research on disaster recovery from theUrban Institute has given a sketch of the complicating factors dictating the timeline for recovery of communities affected by the Los Angeles Fires.The reports authors claim their study of recovery timelines following recent wildfires in Hawaii, Colorado, and Northern California indicated that the issuance of new building permits will, alongside the debris removals process, most likely push into the end of the decade. This comes after both the state and city dropped certain requirements recently in an effort to expedite the recovery process. The estimated cost of the damage has been reported at $30 billion per the LA Times.Heres more from our recent coverage of the disaster:SCI-Arc research on Los Angeles wildfires to be exhibited at Venice BiennaleThe zoning 'trap' in Los Angeles' post-fire rebuildSCI-Arc faculty member Erik Ghenoiu studies rebuilding after losing home in Eaton Fire
