Data gathered from four weeks in the fall of 2024 showed the speed of the movement to be "more than enough to put human life and infrastructure at risk," Alexander Handwerger, JPL landslide scientist said.

An analysis by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has determined that during a four-week period in fall 2024, land in some areas of Rancho Palos Verdes’ landslide area slid toward the ocean by as much as 4 inches per week.

The City Council this week approved taking money from other infrastructure projects to help pay for dewatering wells.
