Rebuilding from Disaster: How Technology Helped Los Angeles County Assess Damage from the 2025 Wildfires

After wildfires swept through Los Angeles County in January 2025, the Assessor’s Office was faced with a monumental challenge: how to quickly and accurately assess damage to thousands of properties — and provide timely tax relief — across the nation’s most populous county.

Fortunately, the office had spent the previous decade modernizing its operations, replacing more than 100 aging applications with a new property assessment platform built on Oracle. That investment paid off when disaster struck.

In this webinar, you'll hear how Los Angeles County leveraged a unified, modern IT system to:

• Proactively identify and assess damaged properties
• Automatically adjust tax bills without requiring residents to apply
• Maintain service continuity and transparency during a crisis
• Empower staff with data, analytics, and mapping tools to act quickly and accurately

Join this conversation to learn how LA County's technology strategy enabled a faster, more resident-centered disaster response — and what lessons your jurisdiction can take from it.
