LOS ANGELES — The city of Rancho Palos Verdes has declared a local emergency in response to landslides that have damaged several buildings and the threat of an unusually wet winter that may trigger more damage in the upscale community on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Oct. 3 declaration by the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council comes after 12 townhomes in nearby Rolling Hills Estates were red-tagged in July and evacuated after landslides made them unsafe. Weeks later, two more homes were red-tagged in Rancho Palos Verdes' Seaview neighborhood because of cracks and structural damage.
