Listen "LA Fires Aftermath"
Episode Synopsis
In January, the Palisades and Eaton fires killed at least 29 people and destroyed or damaged 18,000 structures valued at nearly $300 billion dollars. In the weeks since the fires, people who lost homes have been navigating displacement, insurance, government agencies and predatory developers, all while trying to decide whether to stay and rebuild or sell and leave. Southern California Journalist Michelle Zacarias has been speaking with people affected by the Eaton fire that tore through Altadena. In this episode of SoCal Voices — the first in a series on the aftermath of the LA fires — Zacarias shares her observations of a SoCal community grateful for help received in the immediate aftermath of the fires and worried about some of the longer term impacts of the disaster.
