Rebuilding Paradise Panel Discussion

Photo: National Geographic

In this program, we will examine the wisdom of rebuilding towns at the edge of the wilderness as wildfires now have no seasons. The controversy around the rebuilding of the town of Paradise, California raises questions of home, community, as well as equity. We will discuss who gets to say which and how towns get rebuilt, and for whom. After the state of California spent close to $2 billion on the Camp Fire clean-up, is Paradise safer from future wildfires? Are there wildfire management strategies we can learn from our Native Californians, the original stewards of this land?
