“Had the chance to speak to residents who are being evacuated,” Hahn said. “Everyone is safe but right now these homes are too unstable to enter.”
It’s unclear what initially caused the landslide. No injuries were reported so far.
Emergency crews responded to the scene and all residents were evacuated from the area.
“I’ve already spoken with our Public Works Director Mark Pastrella and are offering the city and our residents our full support,” Hahn said.
Details remain limited on this developing story.
