Rick Scott, Ron Johnson Tour Pacific Palisades Wildfire Damage and Speak to Victims | 2025-11-14 | 2025 | 2025-11 | Republican | Senate | FL | Rick Scott | S001217 | www.rickscott.senate.gov | rickscott | https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/press-releases/ | page_html | WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott, as chairman of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, held a field hearing in Pacific Palisades, California with Senator Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The hearing, “Forgotten After the Flames: Stories from the Palisades Fire,” highlighted how seniors were especially impacted by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades wildfire. Survivors, local leaders, and advocates shared how both they and older residents struggled to prepare, evacuate, and recover – and how many are still facing obstacles to rebuild ten months later. Senators Scott and Johnson underscored the need to get relief and answers for these victims on exactly what went wrong, who is being held accountable, and how it can be prevented from happening again. The hearing comes as the senators continue their ongoing congressional investigation into the January 2025 wildfires, As part of their investigation, Senators Scott and Johnson have sent multiple letters to federal, state, and local officials seeking answers on California’s preparedness, mitigation, and response failures — including prevention efforts, prescribed burns, arson investigations, and overall disaster response and recovery.
