“The people of Porter Ranch have been suffering too long in the shadow of the ongoing environmental disaster in Aliso Canyon, and the City of Los Angeles has been doing everything in its power to help residents cope with its effects. I spoke with Gov. Brown to ask for an emergency declaration, and I’m grateful that he acted today. The order will bring the additional resources and focus we need — to get people back into their homes, restore confidence in the safety of this community, and begin rebuilding quality of life in the neighborhoods affected by the gas leak.” — Mayor Eric Garcetti
