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.",

Sabrina Hanes, who lived on this now-empty lot, had a tumultuous childhood and finally found some stability in Paradise until the blaze claimed her and her daughter’s home, belongings and beloved cat — and reignited old trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year since the fire struck, Hanes, 34, has struggled to avoid the destructive practices she used to cope in the past: “I don’t want to be back in that place where I used drugs or did the cutting. But I would be lying to myself if those thoughts haven’t arisen in my head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recovering from the physical losses has been a challenge, but the emotional ones have proved tougher for Hanes due to her history of trauma. Natural disasters like the Camp Fire can reopen those old wounds or create new ones, experts say, bringing up trauma symptoms like insomnia, worry and hopelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785098\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11785098 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Sabrina Hanes home schools her daughter Aroara in their trailer on October 7, 2019 outside Paradise, Ca where their home was destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sabrina Hanes home-schools her daughter, Aroara, in their trailer on Oct. 7, 2019, outside Paradise, where their home was destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Compounding Trauma Upon Trauma\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Hanes already had more stress than most.

The trauma of her past led her to attempt suicide multiple times as a young adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Sabrina Hanes, Butte County']‘Now I’m on a different path and it’s hard.

She was on track to get her bachelor’s degree, with the goal of working in early childhood development. She helped teach classes for toddlers and parents at a nonprofit, and took her daughter to a special kind of \u003ca href=\"https://pcit.ucdavis.edu\">play therapy\u003c/a> to learn how to better manage Aroara’s meltdowns. The pair spent most afternoons at a dance studio, where they found a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its wake, however, the fire destroyed that sense of normalcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just losing the home, it’s not just losing the town,” Hanes said. “It’s losing people that we cared about because they had to move away — because there was nowhere to move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Losing these social ties has made life harder for Hanes, and so has the reawakening of old, painful memories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s stuff that I never fully worked through,” Hanes said. “This trauma has just added this new layer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she is trying to do the best she can, “it’s a lot harder to cope with day-to-day life,” Hanes said.

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.

Sabrina Hanes, who lived on this now-empty lot, had a tumultuous childhood and finally found some stability in Paradise until the blaze claimed her and her daughter’s home, belongings and beloved cat — and reignited old trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year since the fire struck, Hanes, 34, has struggled to avoid the destructive practices she used to cope in the past: “I don’t want to be back in that place where I used drugs or did the cutting. But I would be lying to myself if those thoughts haven’t arisen in my head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recovering from the physical losses has been a challenge, but the emotional ones have proved tougher for Hanes due to her history of trauma. Natural disasters like the Camp Fire can reopen those old wounds or create new ones, experts say, bringing up trauma symptoms like insomnia, worry and hopelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785098\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11785098 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Sabrina Hanes home schools her daughter Aroara in their trailer on October 7, 2019 outside Paradise, Ca where their home was destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/RS39864__DSC4817-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sabrina Hanes home-schools her daughter, Aroara, in their trailer on Oct. 7, 2019, outside Paradise, where their home was destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Compounding Trauma Upon Trauma\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Hanes already had more stress than most.

The scars of the 2017 North Bay fires reopened in late October, when the Kincade Fire erupted. Just before the blaze, her mother died.

That’s in part because, right now, investing in the town seems risky, especially if Paradise doesn’t recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But local developers don’t want to wait. They have more confidence that the town will bounce back because they can see it recovering in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chico-based developer Luigi Balsamo is one of them.

The empty space used to hold single-family residences surrounded by Ponderosa pines. That was until the November 2018 Camp Fire — California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfire — leveled the Butte County town and destroyed more than 13,000 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, one year later, these lots are being rebuilt by two Paradise natives, Christine and Dave Williams, who bought the properties after the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pair didn’t lose their own home but are deeply invested in the future of their town, and see these purchases as part of that investment. So far, Dave and Christine have been focused on cleaning the lot by removing dead trees and debris. But they’re planning to build two traditional, single-family homes, reminiscent of what used to be there before the fire, and are already looking at floor plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785402\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11785402 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-3.53.52-PM-e1573084598757-800x685.png\" alt=\"After the fire, residents posted their concerns on Facebook that the town would be bought up by out-of-town developers.\" width=\"800\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-3.53.52-PM-e1573084598757-800x685.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-3.53.52-PM-e1573084598757-160x137.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-06-at-3.53.52-PM-e1573084598757.png 813w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">After the fire, residents posted their concerns on Facebook that the town would be bought up by out-of-town developers.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I just want it the way it used to be,” said Christine Williams. “It’s a beautiful town, a beautiful place to live, a great place to raise families.

The majority of purchases were very local: 38% of buyers have an address in Paradise and 25% in nearby Chico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not how post-wildfire rebuilding typically plays out.

The hospitals were gone, most of the homes were on septic systems and they also had a problem getting water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just infrastructure issues that complicate rebuilding. Due to the widespread destruction, Paradise has a lot of rebuilding to be done, and there are not enough construction workers to support it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Assistant Town Manager Marc Mattox said Paradise would process 25-35 permits “on a good year.” This year, from February through the end of September, Paradise approved 962 permits, according to data obtained from Paradise officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What’s working, what’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That data is then used by state officials to develop new building codes that can more effectively prevent fires, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785129\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11785129 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_9847-e1573083991769-800x468.jpg\" alt='Boards covered in so-called \"t-cards\" organize where firefighting resources will be allocated each day.' width=\"800\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_9847-e1573083991769-800x468.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_9847-e1573083991769-160x94.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_9847-e1573083991769-1020x597.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_9847-e1573083991769-1200x703.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_9847-e1573083991769.jpg 1829w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boards covered in “t-cards,” designating where firefighting resources will be allocated each day.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Extensive incident response operations like this are time-intensive, and often get held up by more urgent firefighting operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fires that we’ve seen over the last few years have been fires that do the majority of their damage in the first eight to 12 hours,” said Cox. “It’s very hard to have this kind of system in place in 12 hours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the case during the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/tubbs-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2017 Tubbs Fire\u003c/a>, which leveled much of the nearby Coffey Park neighborhood in Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Literally, until that wind stopped the following day, we were pulling people out of homes and neighborhoods, just trying to save lives,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike other recent major blazes, the Kincade Fire inflicted the brunt of its damage over a prolonged period, allowing more time to set operations early on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785131\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11785131 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_2458-2-e1573083673566-800x479.jpg\" alt=\"Inmate firefighters file into the Cal Fire command center.\" width=\"800\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_2458-2-e1573083673566-800x479.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_2458-2-e1573083673566-160x96.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_2458-2-e1573083673566-1020x610.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_2458-2-e1573083673566-1200x718.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_2458-2-e1573083673566.jpg 1780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inmate firefighters file into Cal Fire’s command center near the Kincade Fire. \u003ccite>(Michelle Wiley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This time around, Cox said, officials had positioned firefighting resources in red flag areas well in advance of the blaze, leaving them much \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11783696/how-the-2017-north-bay-fires-prepared-sonoma-county-for-the-kincaid-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">better prepared to quickly attack it\u003c/a>.

In addition to providing discounted rates, the utility is also required by law to individually notify those customers in advance of shutoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, where about 447,000 customers went dark for at least one night, there were more than 11,500 medical baseline households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People aren’t used to thinking about what they need in emergencies,\" said Milbern, a disability rights activist whose day job is in human resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her, the multiple power shutoffs in October served as a stark reminder that as these events become more common, people with disabilities can't simply depend on emergency assistance from PG&E or local government agencies — they need to band together and pool resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Milbern helped form #PowerToLive, a grassroots campaign launched on the fly in the days leading up to the Oct. 26 blackout.

In some cases, volunteers even helped residents seal doors and windows and build makeshift box-fan purifiers to keep out smoke from the massive \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782314/what-you-need-to-know-sonoma-countys-kincade-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kincade Fire\u003c/a> burning in Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the group supported 32 families, mostly from the East Bay, with more than 90 people offering housing or rides, she said.

We don’t want our people to die or wind up institutionalized,\" she said. \"People with the least resources are banding together to help one another.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The local effort comes amid reports of vulnerable Bay Area residents who were largely neglected during the shutoffs, including at least 20 seniors with wheelchairs and walkers who were \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/0d32cb3d9d1c4d83976d7b167f38dd72\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trapped in the dark\u003c/a> for two days in a low-income apartment complex in Novato, and largely left to fend for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E was widely criticized for how it handled the first round of shutoffs in early October, when its website crashed and scores of customers complained of not receiving sufficient communications or assistance.

They're still leaving the burden of costs on disabled people,\" said Milbern, noting the hefty expense of high-capacity batteries or generators that many people with disabilities have had to buy to keep their life-saving devices running during the outages. \"These are already people with the least amount of resources to front the bill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The responsibility shouldn't just fall on PG&E, she added; If power outages are the new normal, local and state government agencies also need to step up their response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They need to have a long-term plan for these scenarios,\" she said. \"It just seems like disabled people have been forgotten from PG&E's mind, and the state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11779283 hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/20191010_124940-1020x765.jpg\"]After the outage, Milbern's group asked PG&E for a grant of $50,000 to purchase generators and batteries and distribute them to medical baseline customers in the community. The company, she said, was willing to offer only $5,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's not enough to purchase two batteries,\" she said. \"$50,000 is a minuscule amount they could easily make. Their reluctance to do so further demonstrates their lack of accountability and concern for their most vulnerable customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, PG&E said it did everything in its power to reach out to its medical baseline customers before and during the outages, sending a string of automated calls, texts and emails, and knocking on doors of customers who couldn't be reached otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we need to turn off power for safety, we make every effort to notify baseline customers of the shutoff before it occurs,” said Megan McFarland, a PG&E spokeswoman. \"If those customers didn’t get notifications, we want to hear from them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility, she added, has been working with \u003ca href=\"https://www.calsilc.ca.gov/independent-locator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Independent Living Centers\u003c/a> throughout its vast service area to establish protocols and determine how to best support baseline customers during shutoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"disability-rights\"]\"I do not envy [PG&E's] position,” said Ana Acton, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://freed.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FREED Center for Independent Living\u003c/a> in Grass Valley, which serves elderly and disability communities in five counties in the Northern California foothills, a region hit hard by last month's outages. \"It’s not an easy place for them to be in. We need comprehensive solutions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With funding help from PG&E, Acton's organization distributed more than $140,000 worth of batteries during the shutoffs and put residents up in hotels. Acton said they've been meeting with PG&E officials to establish a comprehensive agreement for handling future shutoff scenarios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current arrangement, in which the utility's only requirement is to notify its baseline customers, is too vague, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is more we need to be doing,\" Acton said. \"People don’t have their resources for backup power and transportation. Communities haven’t caught up, service providers haven’t figured out how to provide oxygen, especially with back-to-back shutoffs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Oakland, Milbern's group is busy preparing for the next blackout. That includes an online \u003ca href=\"https://sdaction.networkforgood.com/projects/83846-powertolive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fundraising drive\u003c/a>, a plan to establish networks of hubs in people's homes and at satellite locations and creating a map of local resources and support services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I figured if 200, 300, 400 disabled people share with us their needs, that’s being organized,\" she said. \"A lot of activism work is trying to shift people to think about interdependence rather than independence.

He did this during the [Gov.] Brown years. He’s done this as it relates to sanctuary policy, trying to take public safety money away. He not only has threatened Ukraine from foreign support, but he’s threatening his own states with federal support, including just two weeks ago threatening transportation funding in the state of California.
