According to the community group, the McChrystal report failed to answer key questions on evacuation notifications, disparities in firefighter presence in historically Black western Altadena, and process breakdowns by the sheriff and fire departments.
The county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday held an hours-long discussion of the after-action report.
But she also expressed frustration with what she called omissions in the report, including details about the delay in evacuation orders despite 911 calls coming from western Altadena.
“Instead, a series of weaknesses, including outdated policies, inconsistent practices and communications vulnerabilities impacted the system’s effectiveness,” according to the report.
State Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena, sent a letter to the board encouraging them to implement reforms as detailed in the after-action report.
