What do we mean when we say rebuild LA S.A.F.E?

Protect from Fires and Other Hazards
We must take immediate action to remove fire hazards and strengthen community resilience. Gas infrastructure poses a major fire threat including unhealthy emissions and the potential to leak and explode. To truly protect Angelenos, we must modernize our infrastructure and adopt fire-resistant, clean energy solutions.Solutions:
Remove hazardous gas infrastructure from high-fire-risk areas to eliminate ongoing fire threats.
Bury electric lines to reduce wildfire ignition sources and lower costs by removing gas pipelines first.
Deploy microgrids with solar and storage to ensure resilient, clean, and reliable power during outages and emergencies.
Create fire-resistant roofs and defensible spaces around homes to reduce the risk of fire damage.
Eliminate toxic emissions from natural gas to improve air quality and public health.
Prevent deadly gas explosions by replacing outdated infrastructure, reducing risks like the San Bruno disaster.
By making these changes, we can better protect our communities and prevent future catastrophes.
-
Avoid Spiraling Gas Costs for Residents and Cities
The rising costs of rebuilding must be carefully considered, particularly with the economic impact of gas infrastructure. An all-electric approach not only saves on construction costs but also lowers long-term utility bills for residents. By making the shift to electric, we can avoid future rate hikes, protect homeowners, and ensure that rebuilding doesn’t destabilize our utility systems.Solutions:
Save on construction costs by building all-electric homes, which eliminates expensive gas line installation.
Lower monthly utility bills with energy-efficient electric heat pumps and appliances that reduce energy consumption.
Prevent rising gas rates for residents as demand for gas is already declining and utility maintenance costs are growing.
Keep insurance costs low by removing gas hazards and burying powerlines to reduce fire risks, stabilizing the fire insurance market.
Reduce local government costs by simplifying infrastructure and lowering the risk of fire-related expenses.
By making the right decisions now, we protect both the economy and the environment while ensuring that residents can afford to rebuild and stay in their homes.
-
Rebuild Quickly and Efficiently
Rebuilding LA should be a quick and efficient process, without delays caused by outdated infrastructure. By going all-electric, we can streamline construction, save costs, and get people back in their homes faster.Solutions:
Eliminate gas utility delays by removing the need for coordination with gas utilities.
Simplify permitting with standardized all-electric designs.
Speed up construction with pre-built, all-electric home components.
Remove inspection complexity by avoiding dual gas and electric systems.
Free up workers to rebuild homes faster by removing the burden of maintaining gas infrastructure.
All-electric homes reduce delays and costs, helping LA recover more quickly and safely.
-
Power a Clean, Resilient Future
By committing to a fully electric rebuild, LA can reduce fire risks, improve air quality, and set a global example for a sustainable recovery. This is an opportunity to align with LA’s Clean Energy 2028 goals and build a better, more resilient future for Angelenos.Solutions:
Implement neighborhood microgrids to provide reliable, clean power and reduce fire risks.
Improve indoor air quality by removing harmful gas appliances.
Position LA as a global leader in resilient, sustainable urban development ahead of the 2028 Olympics.
By powering our future with clean energy, we reduce risks, improve health, and create a model for cities worldwide.
