Los Angeles Wildfires Highlight Critical Gaps in Disaster Preparedness Amid Climate Crisis

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, reports on the massive fires in Los Angeles, which have led to the evacuation of over 150,000 people and could cause up to $200 billion in damage. He highlights the city’s lack of water infrastructure for such large-scale wildfires, as it was only prepared for smaller local incidents. McIntyre links the crisis to a broader global issue with climate change response: while local problems are manageable, large-scale disasters often lack adequate preparation.
