Wildfires
Over the last two years (2017 and 2018) California has been severely impacted by wildfires. These wildfires did not only destroy homes, schools and environments, but also impacted far away areas through smoke. Furthermore, wildfires are known to increase the risk of other disasters like flash floods and landslides. Below are resources to help understand how to respond to a wildfire and what to do after.
