Soil Sampling

As part of the Community Action Project - Los Angeles (CAP.LA) which focuses on the recovery in the aftermath of the Palisades and Eaton fires, researchers at Loyola Marymount University, UCLA, and Purdue University are asking owners of properties near the Palisades and Eaton Fires for permission to collect soil and water samples in their yards, gardens, and/or pools to test for possible wildfire pollutants.

This project is funded by the R&S Kayne Foundation, and there is NO cost to the homeowner for the sampling or testing.

  3. Online REBUILD Survey of Experience & Needs
    The REBUILD survey is now closed and results will be shared in the coming weeks.     

    Recovery Efforts By Uniting Individuals, Listening, and Discovery: The REBUILD study was initiated in direct response to the overwhelming number of questions received by the researchers and preliminary findings of the in-person household interviews. Topics covered in the online survey include household impacts, property experiences and needs, challenges property owners are currently facing and those they anticipate facing, and perceived gaps in the responses that property owners receive from different sources. Topics include property cleanup, environmental exposures, testing, opinions, insurance and government agency interactions, and more. Survey results will help expedite ongoing recovery and serve as a model for future incidents since no such mechanism currently exists. Homeowners who participated gave consent agreeing to share their data and their results will be anonymized and pooled with all responses. Responses will be separated into three or more groups, for example, the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and Adjacent to a burn zone.

    Results of the survey will be available on this CAP.LA website after the data are collected.
