The remains of a fire-damaged home in Pacific Palisades, California, stand as a stark reminder to the recent wildfire's impact. Among the debris, a surfboard marked with local messages remains, symbolizing the strength and identity of the community as recovery efforts continue. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is leading Phase 2 debris removal operations to clear hazardous materials and support rebuilding efforts. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Travis England)
