How to effectively prepare for a wildfire evacuation | CBC News

So far in 2025, over 26,400 people have been driven from their homes by wildfires. Here’s what experts say you can do to best prepare for a wildfire evacuation if you and your family need to leave.

200 years since the Great Miramichi Fire. We gotta stay out and be ready to evacuate. The air is a bit smokey and it smells bad.

The Case for Letting Malibu Burn
Bushfires and sprawl: Man-made catastrophes and cultural narratives

The lethal mixture of home ownership and the bush: Neighborhoods on fire.
"Since 1993. almost half of California’s new homes have been built in fire hazard areas...Commercial greed over common sense and the social good."

The aristocratisation of the coast
"In a feverish buying and selling of land, the coast has become utterly transformed and unrecognizable. Each succeeding house, bigger and grander, takes the view of its neighbors in a kind of unbridled competition.… Once lost, paradise can never be regained.… Developers have bulldozed the Santa Monicas beyond recovery."

The Case for Letting Malibu Burn

Many of California's native ecosystems evolved to burn. Modern fire suppression creates fuels that lead to catastrophic fires. So why do people insist on rebuilding in the firebelt?

Warming climate created 'perfect storm' for catastrophic fires, NASA researcher says

Prolonged drought and powerful Santa Ana winds set up extreme conditions that have fueled the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Those conditions were compounded by climate change. According to NOAA and NASA, the ten warmest years on record have all occurred in the past decade. Geoff Bennett and Daniel Schmidt of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies discussed the implications.

Ten people have died, more than 9,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed, and at least 130,000 residents are under evacuation orders. Experts say L.A. is not out of danger yet and that these fires have the potential to be the costliest wildfire disaster in American history.

Nowhere to hide: How a nuclear war would kill you — and almost everyone else.

October 20, 2022
By François Diaz-Maurin

"Since Russia’s war in Ukraine started, President #Putin and other Russian officials have made repeated nuclear threats, in an apparent attempt to deter Western countries from any direct military intervention. If Russia were to ever start—voluntarily or accidentally—nuclear war with the United States and other NATO countries, the number of devastating nuclear explosions involved in a full exchange could waft more than 150 Tg of soot into the stratosphere, leading to a nuclear winter that would disrupt virtually all forms of life on Earth over several decades.

"Stratospheric soot injections associated with different nuclear war scenarios would lead to a wide variety of major climatic and biogeochemical changes, including transformations of the atmosphere, oceans, and land. Such global climate changes will be more long-lasting than previously thought because models of the 1980s did not adequately represent the stratospheric plume rise. It is now understood that soot from nuclear #firestorms would rise much higher into the stratosphere than once imagined, where soot removal mechanisms in the form of 'black rains' are slow. Once the smoke is heated by sunlight it can self-loft to altitudes as high as 80 kilometers (50 miles), penetrating the mesosphere."

Nowhere to hide: How a nuclear war would kill you—and almost everyone else.

In a nuclear war, hundreds to thousands of detonations would occur within minutes, resulting in tens to hundreds of millions of people dead or injured in a few days. But a few years after, global climatic changes caused by the many nuclear explosions could be responsible for the death of more than half of the human population on Earth.

@TheEnvyofAngels i would like to encourage everyone to change from wildfires, as they are not. they are fossil fuel induced #firestorms . the systems are overwhelmed, not by natural disaster, but by deliberate acts of neglect leading to civilization's #climatecollapse , that may take centuries , or even a dozen generations from now to climb out of.
