"Passive House Design" home survives the LA fire.

When these areas are rebuilt, will we see more of these?

TIL that the #WatchDuty app has human and animal shelter locations and details on the map as well as all the latest fire info. It's pretty great.

It also has locations and information for World Central Kitchen meal service and other locations providing various types of assistance.

The cost of fighting wild fires is taking its toll on California's annual expenditures. #LAfires #climatechange
A visual capitalist bar graph showing the cost of California's annual fire suppression expenditure for the emergency fund of CDFFP over the last 4 decades. The general trend shows ever escalating increase in costs from 14 million dolly in 1980/1981 to 868 million dollars in 2020/2021. Chart by Statista.

"Trump is at his absolute worst in a crisis. .. His response to the pandemic .. His response to the death of George Floyd .. his response to a close electoral loss .. He's not a man who's ready to meet important & dangerous moments.”

It's shameful that the NYT chose not to warn Americans about the existential threat Trump poses, until now.

Congressional #Republicans enabled & empowered the #felon. They spread lies, even in crises like #LAFires.

#fundraiser for Los Angeles, Gaza: I started this donation page for #worldcentralkitchen a year ago to support efforts to feed displaced Palestinians. Since then, I saw WCK offer support in my own state and along Helene’s path after a devastating hurricane season, and now we’re seeing them support first responders and residents in So Cal.

Donations of $25 are automatically entered into a raffle to win this piece of pottery I made. More info: https://donate.wck.org/fundraiser/5347508

Caruso narrowly lost the mayoral election to Karen Bass. This is how he would've responded to a disaster. He hired private firefighters to protect his Pacific Palisades shopping center, then complained about lack of water from the hydrants. Firefighters were using it to save lives & prop. Many #billionaires are self-serving. He could've helped save the elementary school, library, grocery store... He claims to be altruistic.
He, Musk, Trump... blame Dems, govt...

Its not very smart to underfund your fire department in order to overfund your police department.

But, then again, once Los Angeles has completely burnt down they won't need a police department anymore anyway.

Now We’re Seeing a Conflagration of Lies and Disinformation About California

Bad-faith actors, including Donald Trump, are blaming the outcome on “diversity” in the fire department and a nonexistent “water declaration resolution.”

Had someone tell me this crap yesterday. Moron said it was #DEI that caused the fires and response and some BS about them sending equipment to #Ukraine

The world is burning, and Big Oil is fanning the flames.

Let’s not allow a small group of billionaires and greedy corporations get in the way of a liveable future.

Was talking w/someone yesterday about how there’s an opportunity to build differently when re-building, to use more fire resistant materials & techniques (ex: roof designs less prone to catching embers can be used).

Availability, at scale, of materials like insulated composite concrete forms (ICCFs) and foam concrete could maybe reduce individual building costs. Normally a single structure using them would bear costs alone; now some economies of scale are maybe possible.

I see the fires in LA as the burning of the old world. #Hollywood is the single most recognizable cultural thing of the 20th century, and along with everything else in the last few years, it's going down in flames.

Very sorry for the people who are losing their homes, but the amount of homelessness in LA tells me that others lost their home years earlier already, and no one batted an eye.

Problems with water supply for firefighters are the direct result of the massive demands for fire-fighting water, the destruction of pipes and pumps by the fires, and homeowners leaving hoses and sprinklers running to try to protect their property.

Freaky to think the LA fires are happening in the northern winter. Normally Australia's firefighters are available to go over there in their fire season to help, but of course we're entering our own high season for fires right now.

Good luck all in California, thinking of you.

Courtesy of @zoom_earth , here is what the #LAFires looked like from space earlier today (time in UTC, I think):
A satellite view of earth above Los Angeles showing a massive amount of smoke drifting mostly from two points near Los Angeles out towards the Pacific Ocean.
The same satellite view, this time with red markers indicating hot spots; most are active wildfires. There are many of them, the largest of which are very close to Los Angeles.

Seriously, anyone flying an unauthorized drone in a fire zone needs a summary lobotomy

#nasa #jpl Jet Propulsion Labs in Pasadena has been evacuated due to #LAfires in #losangeles and this really complicated my husband's day! Unfortunately, they're not sure if that lab and the apps they run will ever be back online.

My husband: IT'S FINE JUST GTFO!

Stuff can be replaced. Science will continue. Just be safe.

Are there lists going around yet of grassroots organizations on the ground in Los Angeles that are taking donations to help people affected by the fires? (Not the big orgs that take all the money for overhead.)

I can't help wondering about the mechanical stresses all these firefighting aircraft are put through, due to such intensive use. How long until they needed to be grounded for sustained maintenance, I wonder? #LAFires
