Porter Ranch
Gas Leak
On October 23, 2015, the largest gas blowout in the history of the United States began at the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility.
As a result of the blowout, people in neighboring communities experienced "rotten egg" odors, oily mists, and acute health symptoms, including eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, and respiratory symptoms. In response to thousands of health problems subsequently experienced by residents, LA County Public Health directed the temporary relocation of over 8,000 households in the surrounding areas. Many residents reported ongoing health problems after returning home from temporary relocation and expressed concerns about potential long- term health effects.
Now, almost a decade later, residents are still fighting for SoCalGas to be held responsible for this disastrous event.
