Altadena Town Council Requests Extension for Southern California Edison Wildfire…
What happened
Altadena Town Council members asked Southern California Edison to consider extending the deadline for its wildfire recovery compensation program, which is set for November 30. Councilmember Morgan Whirledge argued the deadline was premature, noting that fire survivors are running out of mandated additional living expense payouts. Southern California Edison confirmed it would take the request back to officials, while noting the company has made $1.1 billion in offers and paid out over $580 million through the program.
