His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

At the same time, DOGGR is asking a state audit agency to review its current permitting process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department also disclosed it’s launching a series of workshops to begin the process of writing new rules designed to protect communities and residents who live near oil and natural gas production sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Tuesday, Gov.

In one case, the division slapped Chevron with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11777971/top-state-lawmakers-question-chevron-oil-spill-fine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$2.7 million fine\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>‘It Might Be a Really Long Pause’\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>But the seeps continue, with Chevron reporting two new uncontrolled flows in the last 12 days.

Our focus is eliminating them,” Crowfoot said, describing the moratorium on high-pressure steam injection permits as “a pause.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It might be a really long pause,” Crowfoot said, which could lead to a ban of the practice in some areas. “There are other means of oil extraction that if they (the oil industry) choose to do, might cost them more but would be with less … risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Marshall, the acting head of DOGGR, said in an interview that Chevron is improving its handling of the leaks in the Cymric Oil Field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re getting a better handle on what’s going on out there,” Marshall said. “I think they had some production practices that they were just wash, rinse repeat. … (Now) we’re seeing a higher level of participation by some of the reservoir engineers rather than just production engineers — people who know more about the geology getting involved rather than just people who know how to construct wells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron has repeatedly emphasized that its goal is to prevent the leaks and that it continues to work with regulators to address them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says that recent surface expressions may be the result of its work to stop the GS-5 release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are committed to managing the field and reporting events as required. Safety is our top priority and we will continue to conduct activities to comply with agency requirements, while protecting people and the environment,” Chevron said in a statement last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes announced Tuesday by DOGGR affect only new applications for high-pressure steam extraction work, not existing wells that use the technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both state regulators and Chevron officials have expressed concern that halting ongoing steam work could lead to subsidence in the Cymric field. That, in turn, could damage existing wells and lead to even bigger problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could start seeing well failures,” Marshall said. “You could cause surface expressions by doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, Newsom fired DOGGR Director Ken Harris and named Marshall as the agency’s acting chief. The moves came after the governor learned of a dramatic increase in permits granted for fracking and allegations that some senior officials in the division had stock in the companies they regulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocacy and environmental groups who exposed those issues have called on Newsom to impose a moratorium on permits for fracking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR, which will be renamed the Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) next year, is not going that far. But it has requested an independent audit by the Department of Finance of its permitting process for fracking and steam injection jobs. That audit, which is expected to take several months, would be made public, according to Crowfoot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Earlier this summer concerns were raised about the permitting process, particularly for fracking. What we want to do is ensure public confidence in the process and frankly strengthen the process if there are ways we can do that,” Crowfoot said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that audit takes place, all fracking and steam injection permits — known as project approval letters and which typically cover multiple wells — will be reviewed by experts at Lawrence Livermore Lab. State officials say the division usually OKs about two dozen of the approval letters annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The division also plans to create new rules aimed at protecting the health and safety of people who live near oil and gas extraction sites. This could include barring the work near homes, schools and hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials plan to conduct a series of workshops in the coming weeks aimed at developing those new rules, which could go into effect in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>‘Turning of Tide’?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Environmental and community activists responded positively to Tuesday’s announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center for Biological Diversity, which has been a harsh critic of state oil and gas regulators, praised Gov. Newsom for taking a “historic” step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kassie Siegel, director of the center’s Climate Law Institute, said in a statement: “This marks the turning of the tide against the oil industry, which has been allowed to drill at will in our state for more than 150 years. This is the kind of leadership necessary to make California the first major oil-producing state to phase out extraction and protect people and our planet from dirty fossil fuels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gustavo Aguirre Jr., of the Central California Environmental Justice Network, said the group supports the moratorium on high-pressure steam injection — a method he said raises a host of air- and water-quality issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no other way to tackle this than to have the state start moving away from permitting these practices that use so much water and create at least 10 times the amount of wastewater they use,” Aguirre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that his organization and its partners hope to see the state’s process result in new rules for safety zones around oil and gas production facilities. A coalition called VISION — Voices in Solidarity Against Oil in Neighborhoods — is advocating for a 2,500-foot buffer between oil and gas infrastructure and homes and schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reforms prompted criticism from the oil industry and one of the top Republicans in the state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s environmental regulations already lead the world, and the further study of the best science and real data about production practices in our state will only reconfirm that leadership,” said Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is disappointing that the state would pursue additional studies when multiple state agencies already validate our protection of health, safety and the environment during production. These agencies should also consider reliability, affordability and resilience of our energy supply, as every barrel delayed or not produced in this state will only increase imports from more costly foreign sources that do not share our environmental and safety standards,” Reheis-Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove of Bakersfield also emphasized the changes would lead to a growing reliance on foreign sources of fuel and a major hit to the economy for the region she represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s thirst for oil will not reduce a single barrel by this policy, but as a result we will import more foreign oil and export California’s cash,” Grove said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>“The Democrats and the governor’s ideological policies will fail to protect our environment and not benefit our economy,” Grove said. “Furthermore, the bulk of Kern County’s new oil production will be severely impacted by this policy. If those producers cannot confidently invest in this area, then they will invest elsewhere.”\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In one case, the division slapped Chevron with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11777971/top-state-lawmakers-question-chevron-oil-spill-fine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$2.7 million fine\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>‘It Might Be a Really Long Pause’\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>But the seeps continue, with Chevron reporting two new uncontrolled flows in the last 12 days.

Safety is our top priority and we will continue to conduct activities to comply with agency requirements, while protecting people and the environment,” Chevron said in a statement last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes announced Tuesday by DOGGR affect only new applications for high-pressure steam extraction work, not existing wells that use the technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both state regulators and Chevron officials have expressed concern that halting ongoing steam work could lead to subsidence in the Cymric field. That, in turn, could damage existing wells and lead to even bigger problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could start seeing well failures,” Marshall said. “You could cause surface expressions by doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, Newsom fired DOGGR Director Ken Harris and named Marshall as the agency’s acting chief. The moves came after the governor learned of a dramatic increase in permits granted for fracking and allegations that some senior officials in the division had stock in the companies they regulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocacy and environmental groups who exposed those issues have called on Newsom to impose a moratorium on permits for fracking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR, which will be renamed the Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) next year, is not going that far. But it has requested an independent audit by the Department of Finance of its permitting process for fracking and steam injection jobs. That audit, which is expected to take several months, would be made public, according to Crowfoot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Earlier this summer concerns were raised about the permitting process, particularly for fracking. What we want to do is ensure public confidence in the process and frankly strengthen the process if there are ways we can do that,” Crowfoot said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This could include barring the work near homes, schools and hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials plan to conduct a series of workshops in the coming weeks aimed at developing those new rules, which could go into effect in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>‘Turning of Tide’?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Environmental and community activists responded positively to Tuesday’s announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center for Biological Diversity, which has been a harsh critic of state oil and gas regulators, praised Gov. Newsom for taking a “historic” step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kassie Siegel, director of the center’s Climate Law Institute, said in a statement: “This marks the turning of the tide against the oil industry, which has been allowed to drill at will in our state for more than 150 years. This is the kind of leadership necessary to make California the first major oil-producing state to phase out extraction and protect people and our planet from dirty fossil fuels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gustavo Aguirre Jr., of the Central California Environmental Justice Network, said the group supports the moratorium on high-pressure steam injection — a method he said raises a host of air- and water-quality issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no other way to tackle this than to have the state start moving away from permitting these practices that use so much water and create at least 10 times the amount of wastewater they use,” Aguirre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that his organization and its partners hope to see the state’s process result in new rules for safety zones around oil and gas production facilities. A coalition called VISION — Voices in Solidarity Against Oil in Neighborhoods — is advocating for a 2,500-foot buffer between oil and gas infrastructure and homes and schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reforms prompted criticism from the oil industry and one of the top Republicans in the state Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s environmental regulations already lead the world, and the further study of the best science and real data about production practices in our state will only reconfirm that leadership,” said Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is disappointing that the state would pursue additional studies when multiple state agencies already validate our protection of health, safety and the environment during production. These agencies should also consider reliability, affordability and resilience of our energy supply, as every barrel delayed or not produced in this state will only increase imports from more costly foreign sources that do not share our environmental and safety standards,” Reheis-Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove of Bakersfield also emphasized the changes would lead to a growing reliance on foreign sources of fuel and a major hit to the economy for the region she represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s thirst for oil will not reduce a single barrel by this policy, but as a result we will import more foreign oil and export California’s cash,” Grove said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>“The Democrats and the governor’s ideological policies will fail to protect our environment and not benefit our economy,” Grove said. “Furthermore, the bulk of Kern County’s new oil production will be severely impacted by this policy.

They have failed us too many times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Executives from all three companies faced questions as they detailed the work they’ve done to try and reduce the risk of wildfires caused by their equipment — but the smallest provider, SDG&E, which has made the most significant strides toward guarding its system against fires, was the clear favorite of lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, it was clear that PG&E officials were in the hot seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all three utilities have sparked wildfires with their equipment, PG&E has caused the most deadly and destructive fires in state history in recent years, including the Camp Fire, which decimated the Butte County town of Paradise just over a year ago. The company opted in January to file for bankruptcy protection as it grappled with tens of billions of dollars in liability costs related to those blazes. PG&E’s blackouts have also been the most sweeping, affecting as many as 2.5 million customers in one case last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testifying before California lawmakers, CEO Bill Johnson acknowledged that the planned power shutoffs are “not a sustainable solution to the wildfire threats we face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also admitted that the company’s response and communication during the blackouts was lacking, saying that PG&E officials were more focused on the question of turning off the power than on how the shutoffs would impact customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not expect an annual repeat of what happened in October,” Johnson said, noting that the utility is investing in technologies — many of them pioneered by SDG&E — to reduce the number of customers that need to be impacted by a power shutoff aimed at avoiding a wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"pge\"]Johnson predicted that by next fall, one-third fewer customers could lose power during a weather event similar to the largest one in October. He said earlier statements \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11781060/pge-power-safety-shutoffs-could-continue-for-10-years-says-ceo\">that PG&E customers could be grappling with power shutoffs for the next decade\u003c/a> were not meant to imply that those blackouts would be as widely felt as the ones this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not acceptable to have another year like this, let alone 10,” Johnson said, adding that he meant it could take a decade to fully improve the system to the point where shutoffs are as “surgical” as the ones undertaken by SDG&E this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe five years to get to a good place,” he said. “The next three years are crucial in my opinion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the most pointed questions came from lawmakers who represent districts served by PG&E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/10/29/pge-to-credit-customers-for-oct-9-power-shutoff/\">what happened on October 9\u003c/a> as a big ‘screw you’ to your customers, to the Legislature, to the governor,” said Napa Sen. Bill Dodd, a Democrat, referring to the first round of power shutoffs that some viewed as unnecessary. “I really believe that has created amongst the Legislature, amongst your customers, a real trust issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said the company was simply following protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps illustrating the tricky situation Johnson and other PG&E executives find themselves in, some lawmakers also questioned why, amid all those shutoffs, the company may have still sparked a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Bay Sen. Mike McGuire, whose district includes the area ravaged by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782314/what-you-need-to-know-sonoma-countys-kincade-fire\">Kincade Fire\u003c/a> in October, grilled Johnson over the decision not to cut power to a transmission line that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11784767/judge-orders-pge-to-explain-equipments-possible-role-in-sparking-kincade-fire\">could be to blame for sparking the blaze\u003c/a>, which destroyed 174 homes in Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You tell everyone and their brother that you’re going to turn off their lights for fire safety, and then you keep the damn transmission line on,” McGuire said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E filed a report with regulators last month that said a broken jumper cable on a transmission tower may have been to blame for the blaze, and confirmed that it did not cut power to its highest-voltage transmission lines. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11784767 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/GettyImages-1178415471-1020x680.jpg']Johnson has previously said that the tower where the failure occurred had been inspected four times over the past two years and that several maintenance issues had been addressed. He has also stressed that winds forecast for the night the fire began did not meet PG&E’s criteria for shutting down transmission lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The official cause of the fire is still under investigation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire also criticized the utility over the support it has offered to residents during previous shutoffs, noting that its community resource centers for device charging, air conditioning and shelter were only open until 8 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need doesn’t stop after 8 p.m.,” he said, adding that if the company moves forward with shutoffs later this week, the weather may be significantly colder — posing a threat to people without access to heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, was perhaps the most pointed in his criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my mind this company has forfeited its right to operate as an investor-owned utility — we need fundamental structural change at PG&E because this company isn’t working and hasn’t been for some time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He asked representatives from all three companies why they continue to fight against a state plan to expand privately-owned clean energy storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Trees should be cut regularly so that branches are a minimum of 10 feet from other trees. Remove branches that hang over a roof and keep dead branches 10 feet away from a chimney.

The mesh should be very small and stay away from material that can melt and burn, such as fiberglass or plastic — fireproof vents are also available at your local hardware store.

Clearing all dead plants, leaves and pine needles from your yard will go a long way toward removing fuel for wildfires. It’s also a good idea to get up on a ladder and pull out any vegetation that may have collected in rain gutters. Gutter cleaning services will do this for a couple hundred dollars for homeowners who don’t want to do it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Weather stripping\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cost: $10 and up\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as you want to stop embers from blowing into vents, you should also block them from slipping through doorways. Pro tip: Don’t forget to install weather stripping around and under the garage door. This can be DIY, or homeowners can spend a few hundred dollars on a service. As a bonus, weather-stripping also helps keep down your heating and cooling bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The goat option\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cost: About $1,000 an acre\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goats can help with vegetation management by eating tall grass or dried brush that could spread without containment. \u003ca href=\"https://goatcentral.com/\">Goat Central\u003c/a> owner Roy Austin in El Dorado has been renting goats for 20 years and said these four-legged fire mitigators can “go where machine and chemicals can’t be used.” Plus, they provide fertilization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goats tend to cost less than hand crews. The city of Laguna Beach put out a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lagunabeachcity.net/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=71727.78&BlobID=22875\">wildfire mitigation report\u003c/a> pegging the average cost for a crew to do hand modification at $28,000 per acre. That compares to around $1,000 per acre for a herd of goats, depending on vegetation and labor, Austin said. And the more acreage, the more likely you can negotiate a lower price (with the owner, that is, not the goats).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Act fast, though. Austin says recent demand is driving up prices. He’s commanding $1,800 per acre right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Finns were flummoxed by the remark — their fire management apparently \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-partanen-finns-dont-rake-the-forest-floor-20181119-story.html\">doesn’t hinge on raking\u003c/a> — but fire officials recommend it highly for homeowners in fire-prone neighborhoods. Clearing all dead plants, leaves and pine needles from your yard will go a long way toward removing fuel for wildfires. It’s also a good idea to get up on a ladder and pull out any vegetation that may have collected in rain gutters. Gutter cleaning services will do this for a couple hundred dollars for homeowners who don’t want to do it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Weather stripping\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cost: $10 and up\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as you want to stop embers from blowing into vents, you should also block them from slipping through doorways. Pro tip: Don’t forget to install weather stripping around and under the garage door. This can be DIY, or homeowners can spend a few hundred dollars on a service. As a bonus, weather-stripping also helps keep down your heating and cooling bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The goat option\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Cost: About $1,000 an acre\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goats can help with vegetation management by eating tall grass or dried brush that could spread without containment. \u003ca href=\"https://goatcentral.com/\">Goat Central\u003c/a> owner Roy Austin in El Dorado has been renting goats for 20 years and said these four-legged fire mitigators can “go where machine and chemicals can’t be used.” Plus, they provide fertilization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goats tend to cost less than hand crews. The city of Laguna Beach put out a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lagunabeachcity.net/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=71727.78&BlobID=22875\">wildfire mitigation report\u003c/a> pegging the average cost for a crew to do hand modification at $28,000 per acre. That compares to around $1,000 per acre for a herd of goats, depending on vegetation and labor, Austin said. And the more acreage, the more likely you can negotiate a lower price (with the owner, that is, not the goats).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Act fast, though. Austin says recent demand is driving up prices.

There’s a re-emergence of symptoms when you’re around reminders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s been the case for Mary Chelton, of Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. The scars of the 2017 North Bay fires reopened in late October, when the Kincade Fire erupted. Just before the blaze, her mother died. Then she lost power at home during the PG&E preemptive shutoffs — just like what happened during the earlier fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The traumatic reminders of smoke and wind, like the wildfires we experienced previously, has been a less than perfect storm,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reminders have also come up in everyday life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Mary Chelton, Glen Ellen']‘The traumatic reminders of smoke and wind, like the wildfires we experienced previously, has been a less than perfect storm.’[/pullquote]“I’ve had the experience where I go to eat a smoky type of food like salmon,” she said. “And just the taste of it or the smell of that will make my stomach clench and make my heart start beating faster. It’s a visceral reaction that I didn’t expect to be sort of scarred with because of what happened a couple of years ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the 2017 blazes, people “felt fragile, overwhelmed and flooded with fear and stress, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.usfca.edu/faculty/daniela-dominguez\">Daniela Domínguez\u003c/a>, a psychologist and assistant professor at University of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Domínguez, who has spent the past two years working with community members in Sonoma County affected by the 2017 fires, focuses on the Latinx and undocumented populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reactions to wildfires differ from person to person, ranging from social withdrawal to increased irritability to a lack of self-compassion for the feelings they are experiencing, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Anayeli Rodriguez, 33, those symptoms have come in the form of nightly anxiety. Rodriguez and her family had to evacuate from their home in Winters during the 2017 North Bay fires and again during the Kincade Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks ago, they were preparing their home for a party following Rodriguez’s daughter’s baptism. Instead of guests coming to their door, it was police with evacuation notices. The family struggled to find an evacuation shelter that was not yet full.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel a lot of sadness about what’s happened these past two years,” she said. Now that they’ve returned home, Rodriguez said her children don’t want to be there alone: “They constantly want to be with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11687798']Both Domínguez and Ghosh Ippen said ways to deal with the pain brought up by the wildfires include acknowledging the severity of the event and the feelings it has brought up, and seeking out counseling from people trained in disaster response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Domínguez cautioned, however, that those services should be responsive to a person’s culture and language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of wonderful mental health practitioners who understand trauma, but folks who might not necessarily understand the structural barriers, the disparities and the adversities that the Latinx community is experiencing in Sonoma County,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Domínguez said counseling also isn’t an option that’s available to everyone — especially people who are undocumented and fear using services due to their immigration status. She worries that having no way to process fire trauma will lead to prolonged stress, which can impact physical health in adults and brain development in children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785774\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11785774\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39862__DSC4742-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Aroara sits outside the trailer where she lives with her mother in Butte County.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39862__DSC4742-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39862__DSC4742-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39862__DSC4742-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39862__DSC4742-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39862__DSC4742-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aroara sits outside the trailer where she lives with her mother in Butte County. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Becoming the Journey\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanes has seen a change in her daughter Aroara’s behavior since the fire.

She spends evenings preparing lessons for the kindergarten education she’s giving Aroara at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite a year that has tested her, Hanes said she doesn’t think she will resort to her old coping mechanisms, like cutting herself or drug use, because of Aroara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past spring, when she thought cutting herself might bring some relief, she chose a different path.
