The rebuilding process in Los Angeles following the wildfires will likely focus on integrating fire-resistant building techniques, implementing stricter zoning laws to limit construction in high-risk areas, and providing financial aid to homeowners through state relief packages. With around 12,000 buildings destroyed and damaged, which is estimated to be around 40 billion dollars' worth of damage. "“Rebuilding the homes themselves actually is the easy part,” said Tom Grable, division president, Orange County-Los Angeles, for Nevada-based Tri Pointe Homes. “The much harder part is what it’s going to take to bring those lots back to buildable form,”. In order to get to accelerate the cleanup and rebuilding processes, Mayor Karen Bass has issued executive orders like, California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act. Homeowner are using the California FAIR Plan "“the FAIR Plan had just $377 million available to pay claims and has $5.75 billion in reinsurance available,”. Overall, the process of getting new houses up will take a long time but eventually they will get the land back with houses and buildings back up as soon at the land is cured.
