There were more problems in the county alert system. Lawmakers said the evacuation warnings were accidentally sent to 10 million homes. Some residents received the wrong warning. Others received the same alerts several times, or unnecessary warnings. US Representative Robert Garcia, D California, and 13 other representatives from the area sent letters demanding answers to the Federal Communication Commission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the software company responsible for the warning.
He wrote, clearly, well -time emergency warnings mean the difference between life and death. But “the unclear messages sent to the wrong places, many times and after the emergency passage, can lead to fatigue and public confidence.”
‘I got a hose’
In the Pacific Palays, where fire was reported at a regime at 10:30 am, some residents saw him coming and immediately. He escaped. Others waited, and when the first orders of the evacuation ended after noon, some roads coming from the burning neighborhood were jammed with traffic.
Like many people in Los Angeles County, Randy Mood also saw countless jungle fires, including some people who had approached his Malibu’s house but did not hurt. It was last December, when the fire eliminated its power. When the fire of the palates began, his mother quickly pleaded with her.
55 -year -old Mood, a famous local surfer, refused.
He told her, “I got a hose.”
He told her that he loved him, and that was the last time he spoke, his mother, Carol Smith said.
“He had been going through a lot of them before, and was very hidden by them all,” he said. “And I think he thought he was going to be another one that he could skate.”
Under the California ban, Smith said that Mood’s house, which he bought 20 years ago, was valuable for it. On the Pacific Coast Highway, the old house of the century is known as “crab hut”, which is doubled as an informal community center for local surfers crashed there.
Smith said on January 8, a cousin called the authorities and asked someone to examine the med. They found that he was out of the rest, which he believes he belongs to. Smith said the identity is in the post of DNA analysis.
“He was just so happy for many people, young and old. And, Gosh, if you are going to leave inheritance, I can’t think of any better, okay?” Smith said.
Like Mood, Victor Shah remained behind and tried to save his house, according to his family. His cousin Darlin Miller said he grew up in Altadina’s house and had inherited from his parents, who had actually bought it about half a century ago.
Miller said the 66 -year -old was ridiculous and careful and loving, and his refusal to leave showed his pride in his house. “It was a family legacy,” he said.
Miller said his body was later found in his hand with a hose in his hand.
His death has left widespread false, and many questions.
Why didn’t the first evacuation orders? Why didn’t the firefighters help to suppress the flames – or at least they agreed to leave?
Miller said, “If matters were different,” I think he would still be here. “
