To facilitate efficient material supply and significantly reduce costs, the Coalition recommends the establishment of localized production and storage facilities, including:
- Staging Site Selection: Identified material staging areas include cleared commercial lots (Ralphs, Gelson’s), the Reel Inn, Malibu Feed Bin, and the Westside Waldorf School. These sites will support local and regional rebuilds.
- Material Consolidation Zones: Zoned drop points for steel, lumber, and siding materials will help streamline scheduling, reduce trip duplication, and minimize neighborhood disruptions.
- Temporary Storage Infrastructure: Container units and storage sheds will be set up in designated staging zones with coordinated access schedules.
