·  LACSD provided the City with their Emergency Action Plan, which contains detailed info in the Palos Verdes area, as well as what to do and what would happen if there was a catastrophic failure of the sewer system.

·  LACSD created a “landing page” (or web page) that is fairly detailed; it only applies if a catastrophe occurs.

·  LACSD is working with City staff on a communications plan to issue to the public. Communications with the public will most likely be through City channels, the LACSD web page, and a flyer. Once the City approves the communications plan, it will be available to the public.

·  There has been visible movement, new fissures (4-6 inches), stress cracks, and breaks in the cement near manholes (about 1 inch) on PVDS near where LACSD has been moving their line.
