"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

Our upper elevations haven’t dried out. Because of that, we are able to continue our fuel-reduction projects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, this year featured a wet winter — usually good news for fire officials. But so did 2017, one of the state’s wettest winters in half a century and one of the most \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-worsening-wildfires-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devastating years\u003c/a> for wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearing and cutting has helped eliminate some of the brush and trees that fuel the flames. But California’s forests are still clogged with 147 million \u003ca href=\"http://calag.ucanr.edu/Archive/?article=ca.2019a0001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dead trees\u003c/a>, and counting. And the late-winter rains encouraged the growth of grasses and other \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2019/02/californias-charred-hills-bloom-again-not-all-good/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highly combustible\u003c/a> plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire battled 164 fires across the state in the third week of August, many of them small. History shows that September and October, with their hot, fierce winds, are the worst months for fire. And “this week we have dry lightning predicted,” McLean said. That could spark fires in the state’s northern forests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, state officials have been showering Cal Fire with \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2019-20EN/#/Department/3540\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial aid\u003c/a>. The agency’s ranks are bolstered by an additional 400 seasonal firefighters and 13 new engines and crews to operate them. And the state is taking delivery of a new Sikorsky S-70i Firehawk helicopter next month, the first of 12 replacement firefighting helicopters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got everything out of maintenance; everything’s ready,” McLean said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don’t look for California’s biggest air tool to come to a rescue anytime soon. The converted 747 jet, which can carry 24,0000 gallons of water or retardant, is currently flying over the Amazon, fighting fires in Brazil.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mapping the Fire Threat\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire is in the process of updating its map of \u003ca href=\"https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/6636/fhszs_map.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wildfire-hazard zones\u003c/a>, identifying areas of fire danger and assigning degrees of risk to those places. The California Public Utilities Commission is revising its fire map as well. So are the state’s power providers and insurance companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re all trying to better predict where and how wildfires may strike, as officials across the state seek to gain some advantage over fire’s growing menace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of Cal Fire, the mapmaking — painstaking and devilishly complex, combining detailed data about weather, topography, vegetation and the placement of roads and homes — was last undertaken about 12 years ago. Officials say that doesn’t mean the 2007 version is out of date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11759209\" label=\"High-Risk Fire Zone Map\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at hazards by themselves, they are long-term factors that don’t often change,” said Daniel Berlant, Cal Fire assistant deputy director and chief of planning and risk analysis. “The slope of topography is not going to change in a decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But much else has changed. A debilitating drought has come and gone. That and widespread insect infestation \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2016/11/sierra-forests-turned-to-brown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wiped out\u003c/a> trees in especially fire-prone regions of the state. And more and more Californians are living in the very landscapes that are most flammable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire’s map is used largely by counties and local authorities in making decisions about construction in high-fire-hazard zones and fire-mitigation measures from homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berlant said the document’s “major overhaul” will include the latest science, particularly sophisticated new models for where and how wind drives wildfires. It will be completed sometime next year, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility commission’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/firethreatmaps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">map\u003c/a> is somewhat different. It breaks the state into a grid of one-mile squares, focusing on power companies’ lines and equipment and assigning fire threats. The identification of risk areas dictates what prevention efforts the companies should undertake to safeguard their property from fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The map includes Cal Fire and utility-company data, updated yearly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason Withers, who helps run San Diego Gas & Electric’s risk-management group, said his company assumes the worst-case scenario in all of its 4,000-square-mile service territory and assigns its own fire-potential index.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If vegetation could be dry, we assume it is dry. We assume winds will get as bad as they can get,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Curtis Simms, who lives in Paradise\"]“You don’t need a map to know you are in a high-risk area. You’re an idiot if you don’t.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis is intended for use by firefighters and utility companies but is only glanced at by insurers, which have been assembling their own risk assessments for decades. Many companies hire outside firms to provide them with satellite data as well as information from NASA and other federal institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verisk Analytics provides reports to insurers about risk but does not do forecasting. “We are not trying to predict where the next wildfire is going to happen; it’s too complex,” said Arindam Samanta, the company’s director of product management and innovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Cal Fire and the utilities commission publish their maps online, California residents may never hear about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t know there was one,” said Curtis Simms, who lives in Paradise, which was devastated by a wildfire last year. “You don’t need a map to know you are in a high-risk area. You’re an idiot if you don’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Risk in Power Shutoffs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Utilities call it “de-energizing” or Public Safety Power Shutoffs. To consumers, it’s what happens when a power company cuts electricity as a precaution during times of high wildfire risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say the practice is a prudent fire-mitigation strategy, and it’s about to become a widespread tool, whether customers like it or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say one in 10 wildfires in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5193666-CPUC-Meeting.html#document/p63/a466643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is related to\u003c/a> energy equipment. Even as California’s utilities do more to fireproof their lines and transformers, state officials say, the safest course during periods of high heat, dryness and winds may be to turn off power to some lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego Gas & Electric has been proactively shutting off power ahead of high-fire-risk periods since 2013, but the state Public Utilities Commission adopted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/deenergization/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">policy\u003c/a> on such cuts only last year. Customers around the rest of the state are still adjusting to the prospect of blackouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11750896\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some customers are not particularly enthusiastic about the program when they first hear about it,” said Jeff Smith, a spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric. “They are frustrated that their power will be turned off but understand it once we tell customers that it’s to reduce fire risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company experienced that kind of frustration earlier this month when it made public its \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/pge_global/common/pdfs/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/Wildfire-Safety-Plan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plan\u003c/a> for emergency shutdowns, involving four times as many power lines as in the previous year. Even though PG&E stressed that it doesn’t envision cutting power along every line it operates at once, residents reacted with trepidation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said the company has hosted dozens of events to describe the program, which is still new to PG&E’s 5 million electricity customers. The utility cut power only once in 2018, during high-fire-risk conditions, and twice this year, he said. The company has established a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en_US/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/psps-weather-map.page?WT.mc_id=Vanity_weather\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website\u003c/a> for customers to check for shutoff forecasts, as have \u003ca href=\"https://www.sdge.com/wildfire-safety/public-safety-power-shutoffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SDG&E\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sce.com/safety/wildfire/psps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern California Edison\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies are loath to curtail power, for reasons that go far beyond spoiled food and other inconveniences. A representative of the city of Malibu testified at a Public Utilities Commission hearing last year that a power outage during a 2018 fire there cut off internet access and made it difficult for residents to keep abreast of emergency information and other public-safety announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand that there are risks on both sides,” Smith said. “There are impacts on first responders, impacts on traffic, on folks that have life-saving equipment they rely on. And there is risk with keeping power on during those high-threat periods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology has made the shutdowns less expansive. The San Diego utility has adopted a sophisticated system enabling it to curtail power to a single neighborhood or street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utilities have been meeting with local officials to discuss emergency power options that cities and counties may use to protect vulnerable people. Some residents are preparing for electrical outages by buying gasoline-powered generators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under new state rules, utilities are required to ramp up efforts to inform the public before outages, giving 24 to 48 hours of advance notice, or more, depending on the nature of the fire threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Fire-Insurance Angst\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara laid out the dire news to legislators earlier this month: Insurers have declined to renew 350,000 homeowner policies in high-fire-risk areas in California since 2015, when the state began collecting data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have heard from many local communities about how not being able to obtain insurance can create a domino effect for the local economy, affecting home sales and property taxes,” Lara said in a prepared statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This data should be a wake-up call for state and local policymakers that without action to reduce the risk from extreme wildfires and preserve the insurance market we could see communities unraveling,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara’s news, which did not reflect those who were able to obtain replacement policies, reiterates that for insurers, California remains an expensive place to do business, and for homeowners, a costly place to buy insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data firm CoreLogic, in a report due out in September, estimates that about 640,000 homes in California are in areas of \u003ca href=\"https://infogram.com/fire-card-deckchap-1card-1-1h1749qzj8wd2zj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high or extreme fire risk\u003c/a>. The cost to replace those homes: nearly $280 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11769023,science_1943180,news_11746728\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A RAND Corp. \u003ca href=\"https://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP67670.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a>, prepared for the state last year, estimated that the insurance industry’s underwriting profits of $12 billion from 2001 through 2016, “were almost completely wiped out” by catastrophic wildfires in 2017. Residential insurance claims from the 2017-2018 fires, the worst fire period on record for California, totaled $26 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Sektnan, a lobbyist for the American Property Casualty Insurance Association, a trade group, said that for every dollar taken in via premiums, companies have been paying out $2 for fire claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things have been changing quickly,” he said, noting that the 1991 Oakland Hills fire, which killed 25 people, was long thought to be the worst-case scenario for loss of life and property. Those once-in-a-generation events are happening with greater frequency, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the face of the dropped policies, there has been some legislative relief. A law passed last year requires insurers to offer a homeowner who lost a residence to disaster two renewal periods or two years of coverage, whichever is greater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that law doesn’t prevent those whose homes were untouched or only damaged by fire from having their policies cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven Nielsen’s story of frustration is all too familiar to many fire victims. The 52-year-old lost his Santa Rosa home in the October 2017 Tubbs fire in Sonoma County. Bureaucratic entanglements with his insurer of 25 years delayed the rebuilding process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, insurers were required by law to offer fire victims at least one policy renewal, which Nielsen received, taking him through 2018. But when renewal time came again a few months ago, he said, his insurer sent him a letter saying that because no home was built at his address, the company was dropping him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he counts himself lucky to have found a company to cover the rebuilt residence when it’s ready. He expects his premium will go up 60-80%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California homeowners who cannot find or afford new insurance, there is the FAIR Plan, a bare-bones fire policy created by the state and operated by insurance companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Legislation: What’s Next\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After spending some of this year promising to roll out comprehensive fire legislation, lawmakers hustled a single \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/07/californias-new-wildfire-plan-5-things-to-know/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mega-bill\u003c/a> out in July, on a tight schedule, days before their month-long summer recess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many in Sacramento and elsewhere are still arguing over the bona fides of the bill, which was brokered by the governor: Is it a reprieve for Pacific Gas and Electric, which filed for bankruptcy because of fire-related liabilities, or substantive improvement in how California addresses wildfire?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1054\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law\u003c/a> does help the state’s largest utility pay fire victims by establishing a $21 billion compensation fund that it and other companies can tap under certain circumstances. It also requires California’s three biggest utilities to spend $5 billion to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/06/scant-details-are-california-utilities-doing-enough-to-fireproof-their-equipment/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fireproof\u003c/a> their equipment. They had already pledged to spend $3 billion in that effort, replacing wooden poles with steel ones and insulating lines and other equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for the first time, the state is requiring utilities to obtain a safety certification, setting a standard for safe and responsible operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now comes the legislative mop-up. Pieces of earlier proposals were swept into the mega-bill or reconstituted into new bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made a lot of progress, but there’s a lot more work to be done,” said state Sen. Bill Dodd, a Democrat from Napa whose district has been beset by wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t look for blockbusters; the bills still on the table are more modest, addressing discrete pieces of a complex problem. “None of these things are a be-all, end-all,” Dodd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are bills to fund \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">education\u003c/a> programs and brush-clearing projects, beef up \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1516\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enforcement\u003c/a> of “defensible space” ordinances and conduct independent audits of the utilities’ fire-mitigation work. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Another\u003c/a> proposal would establish a state wildfire warning center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional legislation would \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expand\u003c/a> notification periods before power companies shut off electricity to customers, especially to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB868\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">health care facilities\u003c/a> and first responders, during times of high fire risk.

Our upper elevations haven’t dried out. Because of that, we are able to continue our fuel-reduction projects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, this year featured a wet winter — usually good news for fire officials. But so did 2017, one of the state’s wettest winters in half a century and one of the most \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-worsening-wildfires-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devastating years\u003c/a> for wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearing and cutting has helped eliminate some of the brush and trees that fuel the flames. But California’s forests are still clogged with 147 million \u003ca href=\"http://calag.ucanr.edu/Archive/?article=ca.2019a0001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dead trees\u003c/a>, and counting. And the late-winter rains encouraged the growth of grasses and other \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2019/02/californias-charred-hills-bloom-again-not-all-good/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highly combustible\u003c/a> plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire battled 164 fires across the state in the third week of August, many of them small. History shows that September and October, with their hot, fierce winds, are the worst months for fire. And “this week we have dry lightning predicted,” McLean said. That could spark fires in the state’s northern forests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, state officials have been showering Cal Fire with \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2019-20EN/#/Department/3540\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial aid\u003c/a>. The agency’s ranks are bolstered by an additional 400 seasonal firefighters and 13 new engines and crews to operate them. And the state is taking delivery of a new Sikorsky S-70i Firehawk helicopter next month, the first of 12 replacement firefighting helicopters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got everything out of maintenance; everything’s ready,” McLean said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don’t look for California’s biggest air tool to come to a rescue anytime soon. The converted 747 jet, which can carry 24,0000 gallons of water or retardant, is currently flying over the Amazon, fighting fires in Brazil.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mapping the Fire Threat\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire is in the process of updating its map of \u003ca href=\"https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/6636/fhszs_map.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wildfire-hazard zones\u003c/a>, identifying areas of fire danger and assigning degrees of risk to those places. The California Public Utilities Commission is revising its fire map as well. So are the state’s power providers and insurance companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re all trying to better predict where and how wildfires may strike, as officials across the state seek to gain some advantage over fire’s growing menace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of Cal Fire, the mapmaking — painstaking and devilishly complex, combining detailed data about weather, topography, vegetation and the placement of roads and homes — was last undertaken about 12 years ago. Officials say that doesn’t mean the 2007 version is out of date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A debilitating drought has come and gone. That and widespread insect infestation \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2016/11/sierra-forests-turned-to-brown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wiped out\u003c/a> trees in especially fire-prone regions of the state. And more and more Californians are living in the very landscapes that are most flammable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire’s map is used largely by counties and local authorities in making decisions about construction in high-fire-hazard zones and fire-mitigation measures from homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berlant said the document’s “major overhaul” will include the latest science, particularly sophisticated new models for where and how wind drives wildfires.

Even though PG&E stressed that it doesn’t envision cutting power along every line it operates at once, residents reacted with trepidation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said the company has hosted dozens of events to describe the program, which is still new to PG&E’s 5 million electricity customers. The utility cut power only once in 2018, during high-fire-risk conditions, and twice this year, he said. The company has established a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en_US/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/psps-weather-map.page?WT.mc_id=Vanity_weather\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website\u003c/a> for customers to check for shutoff forecasts, as have \u003ca href=\"https://www.sdge.com/wildfire-safety/public-safety-power-shutoffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SDG&E\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sce.com/safety/wildfire/psps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern California Edison\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies are loath to curtail power, for reasons that go far beyond spoiled food and other inconveniences. A representative of the city of Malibu testified at a Public Utilities Commission hearing last year that a power outage during a 2018 fire there cut off internet access and made it difficult for residents to keep abreast of emergency information and other public-safety announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand that there are risks on both sides,” Smith said. “There are impacts on first responders, impacts on traffic, on folks that have life-saving equipment they rely on. And there is risk with keeping power on during those high-threat periods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology has made the shutdowns less expansive. The San Diego utility has adopted a sophisticated system enabling it to curtail power to a single neighborhood or street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utilities have been meeting with local officials to discuss emergency power options that cities and counties may use to protect vulnerable people. Some residents are preparing for electrical outages by buying gasoline-powered generators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under new state rules, utilities are required to ramp up efforts to inform the public before outages, giving 24 to 48 hours of advance notice, or more, depending on the nature of the fire threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Fire-Insurance Angst\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara laid out the dire news to legislators earlier this month: Insurers have declined to renew 350,000 homeowner policies in high-fire-risk areas in California since 2015, when the state began collecting data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have heard from many local communities about how not being able to obtain insurance can create a domino effect for the local economy, affecting home sales and property taxes,” Lara said in a prepared statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This data should be a wake-up call for state and local policymakers that without action to reduce the risk from extreme wildfires and preserve the insurance market we could see communities unraveling,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara’s news, which did not reflect those who were able to obtain replacement policies, reiterates that for insurers, California remains an expensive place to do business, and for homeowners, a costly place to buy insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data firm CoreLogic, in a report due out in September, estimates that about 640,000 homes in California are in areas of \u003ca href=\"https://infogram.com/fire-card-deckchap-1card-1-1h1749qzj8wd2zj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high or extreme fire risk\u003c/a>.

Residential insurance claims from the 2017-2018 fires, the worst fire period on record for California, totaled $26 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Sektnan, a lobbyist for the American Property Casualty Insurance Association, a trade group, said that for every dollar taken in via premiums, companies have been paying out $2 for fire claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things have been changing quickly,” he said, noting that the 1991 Oakland Hills fire, which killed 25 people, was long thought to be the worst-case scenario for loss of life and property. Those once-in-a-generation events are happening with greater frequency, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the face of the dropped policies, there has been some legislative relief. A law passed last year requires insurers to offer a homeowner who lost a residence to disaster two renewal periods or two years of coverage, whichever is greater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that law doesn’t prevent those whose homes were untouched or only damaged by fire from having their policies cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven Nielsen’s story of frustration is all too familiar to many fire victims. The 52-year-old lost his Santa Rosa home in the October 2017 Tubbs fire in Sonoma County. Bureaucratic entanglements with his insurer of 25 years delayed the rebuilding process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, insurers were required by law to offer fire victims at least one policy renewal, which Nielsen received, taking him through 2018. But when renewal time came again a few months ago, he said, his insurer sent him a letter saying that because no home was built at his address, the company was dropping him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he counts himself lucky to have found a company to cover the rebuilt residence when it’s ready. He expects his premium will go up 60-80%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California homeowners who cannot find or afford new insurance, there is the FAIR Plan, a bare-bones fire policy created by the state and operated by insurance companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Legislation: What’s Next\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After spending some of this year promising to roll out comprehensive fire legislation, lawmakers hustled a single \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/07/californias-new-wildfire-plan-5-things-to-know/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mega-bill\u003c/a> out in July, on a tight schedule, days before their month-long summer recess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many in Sacramento and elsewhere are still arguing over the bona fides of the bill, which was brokered by the governor: Is it a reprieve for Pacific Gas and Electric, which filed for bankruptcy because of fire-related liabilities, or substantive improvement in how California addresses wildfire?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1054\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law\u003c/a> does help the state’s largest utility pay fire victims by establishing a $21 billion compensation fund that it and other companies can tap under certain circumstances. It also requires California’s three biggest utilities to spend $5 billion to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/california-wildfires/2019/06/scant-details-are-california-utilities-doing-enough-to-fireproof-their-equipment/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fireproof\u003c/a> their equipment. They had already pledged to spend $3 billion in that effort, replacing wooden poles with steel ones and insulating lines and other equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for the first time, the state is requiring utilities to obtain a safety certification, setting a standard for safe and responsible operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now comes the legislative mop-up. Pieces of earlier proposals were swept into the mega-bill or reconstituted into new bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made a lot of progress, but there’s a lot more work to be done,” said state Sen. Bill Dodd, a Democrat from Napa whose district has been beset by wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t look for blockbusters; the bills still on the table are more modest, addressing discrete pieces of a complex problem. “None of these things are a be-all, end-all,” Dodd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are bills to fund \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">education\u003c/a> programs and brush-clearing projects, beef up \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1516\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enforcement\u003c/a> of “defensible space” ordinances and conduct independent audits of the utilities’ fire-mitigation work. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Another\u003c/a> proposal would establish a state wildfire warning center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional legislation would \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expand\u003c/a> notification periods before power companies shut off electricity to customers, especially to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB868\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">health care facilities\u003c/a> and first responders, during times of high fire risk.

The governor’s office directed questions about the issue to the California Natural Resources Agency, which runs the Department of Conservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency’s secretary, Wade Crowfoot, issued a statement emphasizing that DOGGR recently strengthened its regulations on the oil releases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All surface expressions are now prohibited. We are committed to ensuring maximum oversight and enforcement, and we will be consulting with independent experts as we continue to strengthen this oversight,” Crowfoot said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR had previously said that it is launching an investigation into the Cymric oil field, a probe it says will be aided by independent experts, including staff from Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surface expressions are rare and do not occur under normal operations, according to Christine Ehlig-Economides, a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Houston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the case of the flows at site GS-5, Chevron has built infrastructure that allows it to direct flows from surface expressions to be collected for shipment and processing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We routinely collect the fluid from that seep into an engineered surface collection facility and then remove it by either pumping into a pipeline or vacuum truck for process and handling,” Flores-Paniagua said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Oil has been flowing from the location since March 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11769242,news_11760192,news_11761141,news_11762422\" label=\"Chevron's Kern County Spill\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order comes as DOGGR says it’s stepping up enforcement of a regulation that took effect in April banning the uncontrolled surface flows, which the agency and petroleum operators call “surface expressions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One such release occurred over the last three months near a damaged and abandoned Chevron well in an area of the Cymric oil field designated 1Y. The flows in that incident, which began in May and stopped earlier this month, dumped about 400,000 gallons of crude into a dry creek bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR has issued two notices of violation so far in connection with the 1Y episode, the precise origin of which is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Putting an End’ to Surface Expressions\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In an email Sunday, agency spokeswoman Theresa Schilling said that in light of the April rules barring surface expressions, “DOGGR is looking to put an end to their occurrence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schilling also acknowledged that the driving force behind the surface expressions is an oil extraction method that Chevron and other operators in the Cymric field rely on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The roughly 11,000-acre Cymric field, in the Temblor Range foothills about 35 miles west of Bakersfield, is the scene of extensive steam injection operations— a technique in which high-pressure steam is forced deep into the ground to free oil trapped in underground formations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally, that freed crude petroleum is pumped to the surface through well bores and shipped by pipelines or tankers for processing. But that’s not what’s been happening around the leaking Chevron wells, where crude oil, steam and water have apparently moved laterally underground until they find a vent or create a sinkhole that allows the material to come to the surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The steam injection wells are the source of heat and pressure that drive surface expressions,” Schilling said Sunday. But she added that further investigation is needed to understand exactly how that underground heat and pressure is resulting in the surface flows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuNJOh6k4pk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get to the bottom of the expressions, Schilling said, DOGGR “is exploring swift next steps to evaluate and investigate the oil field as a whole.” She said that investigation will include independent experts, including staff from Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncontrolled flows at sites GS-5 and 1Y — locations that are just 1,000 feet apart in an area studded with dozens of active and abandoned steam injection wells — will likely be at the center of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GS-5 is the site of a flow that began in March 2003 and has recurred in a series of surface expressions in the immediate vicinity. In response to the flows, Chevron built a collection facility in 2012 from which oil is pumped into a pipeline or sucked up by vacuum trucks for processing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>84 Million Gallons Released\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A Chevron spokeswoman said Sunday that about 2 million barrels of oil and water — 84 million gallons have come to the surface at GS-5 since March 2003. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company told DOGGR last year that it estimated the liquid flowing at the site to be 60% to 80% oil. At At the lower concentration level — 60% oil — that would put the volume of crude that has come to the surface at about 50 million gallons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron data provided to DOGGR shows the amount of liquid flowing at GS-5 has increased dramatically in recent years, from an average of about 250 to 1,100 barrels a day. The flow appeared to spike this summer after the May 10 appearance of the new surface expression at site 1Y, at one point hitting 3,000 barrels — 126,000 gallons — a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11770580\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-1200x872.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\" class=\"size-complete_open_graph wp-image-11770580\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-1200x872.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-160x116.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-800x581.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-1020x741.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM.png 1762w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">State regulators have issued notices of violation for three uncontrolled crude oil releases in Cymric oil field, west of Bakersfield. \u003ccite>(Carto)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Chevron’s operational priority is the prevention of all seeps,” company spokeswoman Veronica Flores-Paniagua said in an email. “We are committed to stop this seep and are working toward that goal.

The flows in that incident, which began in May and stopped earlier this month, dumped about 400,000 gallons of crude into a dry creek bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR has issued two notices of violation so far in connection with the 1Y episode, the precise origin of which is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Putting an End’ to Surface Expressions\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In an email Sunday, agency spokeswoman Theresa Schilling said that in light of the April rules barring surface expressions, “DOGGR is looking to put an end to their occurrence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schilling also acknowledged that the driving force behind the surface expressions is an oil extraction method that Chevron and other operators in the Cymric field rely on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The roughly 11,000-acre Cymric field, in the Temblor Range foothills about 35 miles west of Bakersfield, is the scene of extensive steam injection operations— a technique in which high-pressure steam is forced deep into the ground to free oil trapped in underground formations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally, that freed crude petroleum is pumped to the surface through well bores and shipped by pipelines or tankers for processing. But that’s not what’s been happening around the leaking Chevron wells, where crude oil, steam and water have apparently moved laterally underground until they find a vent or create a sinkhole that allows the material to come to the surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The steam injection wells are the source of heat and pressure that drive surface expressions,” Schilling said Sunday. But she added that further investigation is needed to understand exactly how that underground heat and pressure is resulting in the surface flows.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/kuNJOh6k4pk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/kuNJOh6k4pk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>To get to the bottom of the expressions, Schilling said, DOGGR “is exploring swift next steps to evaluate and investigate the oil field as a whole.” She said that investigation will include independent experts, including staff from Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncontrolled flows at sites GS-5 and 1Y — locations that are just 1,000 feet apart in an area studded with dozens of active and abandoned steam injection wells — will likely be at the center of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GS-5 is the site of a flow that began in March 2003 and has recurred in a series of surface expressions in the immediate vicinity. In response to the flows, Chevron built a collection facility in 2012 from which oil is pumped into a pipeline or sucked up by vacuum trucks for processing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>84 Million Gallons Released\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A Chevron spokeswoman said Sunday that about 2 million barrels of oil and water — 84 million gallons have come to the surface at GS-5 since March 2003. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company told DOGGR last year that it estimated the liquid flowing at the site to be 60% to 80% oil. At At the lower concentration level — 60% oil — that would put the volume of crude that has come to the surface at about 50 million gallons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron data provided to DOGGR shows the amount of liquid flowing at GS-5 has increased dramatically in recent years, from an average of about 250 to 1,100 barrels a day. The flow appeared to spike this summer after the May 10 appearance of the new surface expression at site 1Y, at one point hitting 3,000 barrels — 126,000 gallons — a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11770580\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-1200x872.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\" class=\"size-complete_open_graph wp-image-11770580\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-1200x872.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-160x116.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-800x581.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM-1020x741.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-6.00.30-PM.png 1762w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">State regulators have issued notices of violation for three uncontrolled crude oil releases in Cymric oil field, west of Bakersfield. \u003ccite>(Carto)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Chevron’s operational priority is the prevention of all seeps,” company spokeswoman Veronica Flores-Paniagua said in an email. “We are committed to stop this seep and are working toward that goal.
