Address Omissions in the SCE Proposal

SCE has proposed a direct compensation program for Eaton Fire survivors that offers large payouts to avoid lengthy litigation, though attorneys caution such programs often pay less than lawsuits. Compensation includes up to $900,000 to rebuild a destroyed 1,500-sq-ft home, $200,000 for settling directly with Edison, and additional funds for pain and suffering; families of deceased victims could receive up to $1.5 million for noneconomic damages, $500,000 per dependent, and a $5 million direct-settlement bonus.

However, for surviving homes eligibility is limited: the draft program covers only visible structural damage (measurable physical harm like staining or corrosion) inside the fire perimeter, excluding homes with lingering smoke, soot, or toxin contamination that lacks visible physical damage. Properties outside the DINs map and soil remediation needs are also left out, potentially excluding many standing homes.

EFSN has drafted a set of community demands in response to Edison’s compensation proposal, with EFRU contributing what they see as critical omissions affecting standing homes. You are encouraged to submit your concerns about this SCE Proposal.
