Hayley Smith, Reporter, Los Angeles Times:
Yes, recovery efforts are still underway. This has really been a remarkable winter. Going into this season, we were on the tail end of the state's driest three years on record. And then as you said, the skies opened up. We saw widespread flooding. We saw levee breaches, we saw landslides and sinkholes, property damage, nearly three dozen people have died. So it's been a pretty challenging winter for us in that regard so far. And so as of right now, there are still people that don't have access to their homes, there are still evacuated communities, places that are underwater, people that have lost their livelihoods due to flooded farm fields or infrastructure challenges. So we have a lot of work to do just to dig out from this winter, even though thankfully, it seems like the storm systems have stopped.
