Last summer, State Farm, one of California’s largest insurers, canceled hundreds of homeowners’ policies in this vulnerable area, leaving many without protection. Ironically, these same insurers continue to support the fossil fuel industry, which exacerbates climate change and makes homes increasingly uninsurable. As Los Angeles burns, the media often highlights the loss of celebrity mansions, but it is the everyday Angelenos—especially lower-income communities, the elderly, farmworkers, and the unhoused—who suffer the most. This crisis underscores the urgent need for action to support those most affected and to address the root causes of these catastrophic fires. sources and attributions: [email protected] -Jeffrey St Clair -Channel 4 News #pacificpalisades #wildfires #climatechange #extinctionrebellion #lafires #californiawildfires".

#ChapelHillNC is sending teams of first responders up in 5-day shifts.
If you live in the southeast, find out if your community is doing the same. If so, ask how you can support them. It's hard work, physically and emotionally, and it's going to be needed for a very long time. #HelpTheHelpers
Federal and state aid agencies, including #FEMA, are on the ground, helping families get the resources they need to recover and rebuild. They're also now, of necessity, becoming experts in countering misinformation. Social media and some political interests are rife with efforts to sow seeds of mistrust of aid organizations, esp FEMA. This is making it vastly harder for people to get and give help.
Don't amplify those efforts. Deplatform those who do.
There are multiple ways to help the survivors of #Helene. Tons of established local organizations are working around the clock to provide food, shelter, clothing, and health care. You can find information about some of them here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RR5HML5ni83NdVodRGp2NZvyDJ_HtiAgw3J-IlMtPuA/edit?gid=0#gid=0
