Los Angeles authorities on Monday unveiled updated maps of the devastation left behind by the city’s wildfires.
The cards focus on the impact of the Eaton and Pacific Palisades burn, two of the largest and least controlled of the fires. The maps show destruction by structure, with red icons indicating a structure at least 50% destroyed, while orange, yellow and green indicate more minor damage and black indicates no damage at all.
In total, the Eaton fire affected 885 buildings, of which 674 were more than half destroyed, while 157 avoided damage entirely. The Pacific Palisades fire affected 664 buildings, more than half of which destroyed 485, and only 127 avoided damage.
“Field damage inspections may be ongoing and may change as information is gathered and verified. The icons on the map indicate the current known status of the structure,” city authorities noted.
