Less than four years out, the citywide vision we're supposed to be rallying behind has yet to be revealed by LA28. And now LA's recovery has become inextricably bound to the 2028 deadline that we're all haphazardly hurtling towards without a plan
As LA moves into recovery mode, I think about Susie Cagle's work at least once a day. A longtime climate journalist, Susie has done some of the best reporting on wildland-urban fires, from new policies in evacuation procedures to the fraught realities of rebuilding. She's been on the ground throughout LA County, but she also brings extensive knowledge of the ways other communities have learned to make their homes alongside fire. And she's currently writing the book about California's climate crisis: The End of the West.
