Weeks after Southern California Edison announced initial details of its compensation program for survivors of the deadly Eaton Fire, residents are pushing back.

In an open letter to the company, a group representing thousands of people from Altadena and surrounding areas laid out their concerns with the program.

They said they are most frustrated that the maps Edison uses to determine eligibility, exclude some impacted residents from the program, and that the company's pay out offers incorrectly assume that residents will receive the full value of their property insurance policies.

Rebuilding quickly is another concern.

Many survivors, the group's letter said, are hindered by, quote, the gap the difference between what insurance pays and what it actually costs to rebuild.

They are also worried about the fact that children will receive less compensation than adults, and that the company is not offering to pay for test.. in local schools for t.. released by the fire.

Edison spokesperson Jeff Monford did not address specifics about the criticism, saying that the company's program offers a streamlined approach to quickly and fairly provide compensation to eligible community members affected by the Eaton Fire.

Monfort said the money for the compensation program comes from multiple sources.

The first $1 billion will be from Edison's customer funded insurance, followed by the state wildfire fund, which covers damages from fires started by the three large investor owned utilities equipment.

Edison's program, the network argued, does not go far enough to close this.

Instead, the utility deducts the full value of someone's relevant insurance policy from what it will pay out, even if the insurer has not paid the full amount.

Limiting what the network said is fair compensation.

Edison's program is currently in draft stages and may change based on community feedback.
