In the aftermath of devastating wildfires, recovery extends far beyond initial cleanup. It’s a continuous process of helping communities rebuild their lives through technical expertise, compassion, and resilience planning.
Our team, led by Dr. Kit Miyamoto, has been working alongside homeowners in Topanga, California following recent fires. One of the most impactful aspects of our work occurs during the crucial assessment phase.
Recently, while visiting a 76-year-old homeowner’s property, our engineers identified ways to preserve significant portions of the damaged concrete structure. These discoveries matter deeply—they can save months of rebuilding time, reduce costs by thousands of dollars, and ease the emotional burden during an already challenging period.
This hands-on engineering work continues daily across affected neighborhoods and reflects the core of Miyamoto International’s mission, whether in Los Angeles communities or disaster zones worldwide.
Take the First Step Toward Rebuilding
Before making decisions about your property after a fire, consider a professional foundation assessment. This critical evaluation could potentially save you significant time and resources in unnecessary reconstruction.
