Have questions about land movement?

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is closely monitoring land movement in neighborhoods in and around the Portuguese Bend, Abalone Cove, and Klondike Canyon landslides that has accelerated in recent months. The health and safety of the public and the protection of property, infrastructure, and the environment are our top priorities. We are committed to keeping the community informed.

Recent land movement in the City is believed to be the result of heavy winter rainfall, since it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after the rainfall for the land to move, exacerbated by water pipe leaks, especially when they are undetected for an extended period of time. Please know there is no link between this activity and the devastating land movement that destroyed homes in the City of Rolling Hills Estates this summer.
