LOS ANGELES – In order to have debris removed by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE), property owners affected by the Los Angeles
Wildfires must submit a Right of Entry (ROE) form to LA County. THE
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT A ROE FORM HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO APRIL 15, 2025. 

Typically, FEMA’s authority is limited to debris removal in public
areas, but in response to the LA wildfires, FEMA’s authority has
been extended to include single family residences and owner-occupied
multi-family units. 

There is NO OUT-OF-POCKET COST to have debris removed by USACE,
however FEMA is unable to duplicate other forms of funding specific to
debris removal. If a property has insurance for debris removal, any
residual amount not used by the property owner must be provided
through the county to offset the cost of debris removal. 

IF A PROPERTY OWNER OPTS _OUT_ of the USACE debris removal program,
they become responsible for all permits, inspections and other
associated debris removal requirements and costs. 

ALL PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULD SUBMIT AN ROE FORM BY APRIL 15, 2025,
EITHER OPTING INTO THE PROGRAM OR OPTING OUT.
