thank you i'm lindsey horvath all right. >> you've been listening to officials there in l.a. giving us updates on the fires and what's ahead. they are warning this critical threat through wednesday in l.a. county. a potential additional fires and really undoing some of the containment that we've seen from the other fires, including the palisades fire and the eaton fire. um, and you heard there from the mayor, karen bass, saying that there are local assistance centers that are opening up as well in l.a. to help folks who don't have a home anymore, who don't have the critical paperwork that they need. so that briefing is continuing. but, i mean, the bottom line is there is concern for the days ahead in l.a. and the weather with the high winds, as you heard there from the mayor saying that this could be hurricane level winds as well as the dry conditions and what that could mean. we saw what it meant last week, and those fires there continue to rage in l.a. and when we come back, i'll speak live with an altadena family who just lost their home to a fire. get this for the second

let's bring in los angeles county supervisor lindsey horvath, who represents the third district, whichudes the pacific palisades and malibu areas. and lindsey, you were at today's news conference where the los angeles mayor, karen bass, reiterated the need to rebuild and restore the areas destroyed by those fires. what does that rebuilding process even begin to look like, given the scale of destruction? and where do all those people go before these homes are rebuilt? >> well, the first part is making sure that the area is safe. >> and as you highlighted, there are utility crews in addition to our first responders out there, making sure that we are addressing any remaining embers from the fire and all of these areas before we can even bring people back in. >> we also know there's a lot of debris that has to be cleared, so we're already coordinating with our department of public works on what that looks like. >> and then, of course, given the destruction, the unimaginable destruction that we are facing, this is also a unique opportunity for us to think about how we build from the ground
