"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.",

Median home values in Sonoma County are more than double those in Butte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones advised homeowners to be cautious of “fraudsters and scam artists” trying to take advantage of vulnerable communities.\u003cbr>\nHe also said it’s time for California to start rethinking how and if it builds in fire-prone areas.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]J[/dropcap]anet and Don Clark are used to spending time apart. Janet's a big camper, and she used to leave their Paradise home for weeks at a time for camping trips. But that was before the deadliest wildfire in modern California history swept through and destroyed their town. And the two weeks they spent apart after the blaze were different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705243/california-wildfires-what-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Camp Fire\u003c/a> broke out early Nov. 8, Janet and Don knew they needed to get out. They could see the flames from their home of more than 30 years, so they packed up some of their belongings in separate cars and left. But once they got on the road, traffic was gridlocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People just got out of their cars,\" Don said. \"[They] just left 'em right in the middle of the road and took off running.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We can’t afford to really move somewhere else ... We’re old, y’know, and that’s a lot of people. A lot of people are elderly. How do you start over and how long do you wait before you start over?'\u003ccite>Janet Clark\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So he turned his van around and went back to their property. The fire had already moved through the area, so he figured it was safe enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Janet stayed, stuck in traffic. The smoke made the skyline dark and hard to see. At one point, a bicycle seat sticking out of her window caught on fire and she had to pull over, with propane tanks exploding and new flames erupting all around her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After several hours, she was finally able to make it off the hill and into Chico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Paradise, their home was gone. It burned down within 10 minutes. But Don Clark stayed — for 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was not allowed to leave the property,\" Don said. That's because of laws requiring people to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don said that he did sneak away, \"but if I was caught off the property, they could force me to go to Chico. You can stay here as long as you don't leave. Once you leave, you're not allowed to come back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don said he initially spent his time walking around the neighborhood, clearing brush and trying to put out spot fires he saw near vacant properties. Some of his neighbors even credit him with saving their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think I served a purpose being here,\" he said. \"Because the firemen had to drive up and down the road, they didn't have time to go down these little roads and put out little fires that are still burning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after the fires went out, Don still stayed. He took stock of their losses and organized some of the remnants of their old home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712166\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11712166 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/ClarksBelongings-800x566.jpg\" alt=\"A few of the Clarks' Christmas ornaments, and Janet's SF Giants mug, were spared by the Camp Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/ClarksBelongings-800x566.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/ClarksBelongings-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/ClarksBelongings-1020x721.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/ClarksBelongings-1200x849.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/ClarksBelongings.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A few of the Clarks' Christmas ornaments, and Janet's San Francisco Giants mug, were spared by the Camp Fire. \u003ccite>(Jeremy Siegel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There were also a number of animals left behind in the fire. Don took it upon himself to watch over and feed them. His neighbors have a cat, and he'd slide food under their door whenever he got a chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just did things I thought might be good,\" Don said. \"There were horses and animals here for a while. I'd take them little things that I'd find, like an apple.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don's a big blues fan and a seasoned musician. He and some other residents used to get together weekly for jam sessions. When the fire hit, Don was able to save a guitar, an amplifier and a generator. But he didn't have a cord to connect the instrument to the amp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So firefighters brought him one, free of charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The firemen were good to me,\" Don recalled. \"They brought me food.

They could see the flames from their home of more than 30 years, so they packed up some of their belongings in separate cars and left. But once they got on the road, traffic was gridlocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People just got out of their cars,\" Don said. \"[They] just left 'em right in the middle of the road and took off running.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We can’t afford to really move somewhere else ...

What does it seek to do?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have many apartment buildings that are at risk of collapse in the event of a major earthquake. And we know a major earthquake in the Bay Area is not a matter of \"if,\" it's a matter of \"when.\" We have an obligation to protect the people living in those buildings from displacement. This new law would require the owners of soft-story apartment buildings to seismically retrofit their buildings so they're safer. That would not only protect lives, but also reduce the likelihood that people will be displaced when the earthquake happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How many units are we talking about?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are anywhere between 1,600 to 2,000 of these buildings in Oakland containing somewhere between 21,000 to 25,000 units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Francisco and Berkeley already have mandated seismic retrofitting for some soft-story apartment buildings. What's taken Oakland so long to get around to doing this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has been working on this for a few years. We've addressed people's concerns and now we're going to get it done. Also, just as San Francisco and Berkley's programs are winding down, Oakland now has all these trained seismic engineers and construction specialists who know how to do this work and are looking for more work. So it works just right, in terms of the availability of the experts to do the work, by having not all cities do it at exactly the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kind of financial and other assistance will you be providing to owners and renters affected by the retrofitting?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many property owners will have to take out some kind of loan to do this. We are looking to FEMA to provide grants to help subsidize some of the costs for those who need it. The state has a program to provide loan guarantees for those property owners who can't necessarily get a loan on their own. And we're looking for other sources. There will be a shared cost because it's a capital expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As is the case with most other cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, a portion of those costs will be passed along to renters.

They’re not fireproof standards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers who study how houses burn down say\u003ca href=\"https://lpfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2014_Moritz-et-al_Learning-to-Coexist-with-Wildfire.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> it’s embers that are responsible \u003c/a>for burning houses down, not walls of flame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When embers land on ornamental mulch, pine needles built up at the base of a wall or wooden deck furniture, they smolder. And those little fires can \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL_syp1ZScM\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eventually ignite the house itself\u003c/a>, even a fire-resistant house, especially if no one is there to put them out, as is usually the case in an evacuation zone during a megafire where firefighting resources are stretched thin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current California wildland fire codes \u003ca href=\"http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/codedevelopment/pdf/WPBC_TaskForce_2016/20160907_CSFMWUI.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">may also have weaknesses\u003c/a>, according to Morelli. They don’t cover wooden sheds, carports, or backyard play structures, which can ignite, sending embers towards the house. Nor do they cover skylights that open outwards. And garage doors aren’t as fire-resistant as they could be, meaning embers can get sucked underneath them, igniting whatever is inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being new, the houses on Andorra Lane were likely some of the most fire-resistant in Ventura. But many of the older houses that burned in the Thomas Fire also had \u003cem>some\u003c/em> fire-resistant features.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to CalFire data, 80 percent of houses destroyed in the Thomas Fire had fire-resistant exteriors. And 90 percent had fire-resistant roofs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s where you build, not what you build\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To fire ecologists like Alexandra Syphard with the Conservation Biology Institute, it’s becoming increasingly clear that houses built in risky places are impossible to fire-proof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can make a big difference in increasing the potential safety of your house but you can’t guarantee that it’s not going to burn,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her research has found that \u003cem>where \u003c/em>you build your house, not what it’s made of, \u003ca href=\"https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0033954\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is the biggest factor\u003c/a> in determining whether it will burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And approving new development is done by cities and counties, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.laist.com/2018/09/24/why_do_we_keep_building_houses_in_places_that_burn_down.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">often have a financial incentive to greenlight construction projects.\u003c/a> The state tries to guide them to do the right thing, but “at the end of the day, it’s up to the local jurisdiction to protect their citizens,” said Pete Muñoa, CalFire’s deputy chief of land use planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s really only \u003ca href=\"https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2017-10-30/burning-question-can-california-prevent-next-wildfire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">academics\u003c/a> who are discussing giving the state more control over where houses are built in fire prone areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They talk about that all the time,” he said. “‘They shouldn’t be building there, period,’ is what I’ve heard a few of the professors state. That’s easier said than done. Where do you put those folks? And how do you compensate them for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early October, workers were almost done framing Phil Azer’s replacement house on Andorra Lane. A small yellow sign in the front yard read, “Permits issued! Construction starting soon! Ventura strong!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Financially it made the most sense for us to rebuild,” Azer explained, because the insurance company would give him more money if he rebuilt than if he walked away and built a new house somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Azer’s experience — rebuilding in the same place, to the same building codes, is quite common — \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/115/13/3314\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a study published \u003c/a>earlier this year in the \u003cem>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \u003c/em>found rates of home construction are higher in the footprint of wildfires than in surrounding areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not changing our building patterns to become more fire resilient if we just put houses in the exact same places,” said Volker Radeloff, an ecologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the lead author of the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They may not burn a year or two later, but 10 to 20 years later, there will enough fuel for the next fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city and state officials are reluctant to do anything that would increase the cost of new housing. Yolanda Bundy, the chief building official with the city of Ventura, said she’s just not focused on changing local building codes or overhauling land use planning at the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, all the efforts are concentrated on helping people rebuild their homes, not to create more rules or regulations or more processes,” she told KPCC earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burned homes in “very high fire hazards severity zones” will be rebuilt according to the newest codes, and Bundy still considers that a big improvement since nearly all 777 of them were constructed before 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, new building codes are adopted \u003ca href=\"https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/bsc/2018TriCycle/2018TriCycleTimeline-v01-03-2017.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">every three years. \u003c/a>That means lessons learned from the Thomas Fire will not be incorporated until the next round of code changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly playing catch up,” said Muñoa. “We’re trying to be proactive to see how we can make homes more survivable by adding additional code requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said, regulators also have to balance safety with cost. “Depending on the pushback we get from industry, we may or may not be successful in getting codes that we believe are going to be effective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What you can do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1917346/wildfires-can-attack-your-house-from-the-inside-heres-how-to-prevent-it\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">what should you do\u003c/a> if you live in a high fire risk area, or are rebuilding your house in one?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focus on the area 30 feet around your house, says Tom Welle with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/By-topic/Wildfire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National Fire Protection Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first five feet out from your foundation should be nearly bare, or only covered with non-flammable plants or landscaping.

They’re not fireproof standards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers who study how houses burn down say\u003ca href=\"https://lpfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2014_Moritz-et-al_Learning-to-Coexist-with-Wildfire.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> it’s embers that are responsible \u003c/a>for burning houses down, not walls of flame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When embers land on ornamental mulch, pine needles built up at the base of a wall or wooden deck furniture, they smolder. And those little fires can \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL_syp1ZScM\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eventually ignite the house itself\u003c/a>, even a fire-resistant house, especially if no one is there to put them out, as is usually the case in an evacuation zone during a megafire where firefighting resources are stretched thin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current California wildland fire codes \u003ca href=\"http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/codedevelopment/pdf/WPBC_TaskForce_2016/20160907_CSFMWUI.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">may also have weaknesses\u003c/a>, according to Morelli. They don’t cover wooden sheds, carports, or backyard play structures, which can ignite, sending embers towards the house. Nor do they cover skylights that open outwards. And garage doors aren’t as fire-resistant as they could be, meaning embers can get sucked underneath them, igniting whatever is inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being new, the houses on Andorra Lane were likely some of the most fire-resistant in Ventura. But many of the older houses that burned in the Thomas Fire also had \u003cem>some\u003c/em> fire-resistant features.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to CalFire data, 80 percent of houses destroyed in the Thomas Fire had fire-resistant exteriors. And 90 percent had fire-resistant roofs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s where you build, not what you build\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To fire ecologists like Alexandra Syphard with the Conservation Biology Institute, it’s becoming increasingly clear that houses built in risky places are impossible to fire-proof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can make a big difference in increasing the potential safety of your house but you can’t guarantee that it’s not going to burn,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her research has found that \u003cem>where \u003c/em>you build your house, not what it’s made of, \u003ca href=\"https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0033954\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is the biggest factor\u003c/a> in determining whether it will burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And approving new development is done by cities and counties, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.laist.com/2018/09/24/why_do_we_keep_building_houses_in_places_that_burn_down.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">often have a financial incentive to greenlight construction projects.\u003c/a> The state tries to guide them to do the right thing, but “at the end of the day, it’s up to the local jurisdiction to protect their citizens,” said Pete Muñoa, CalFire’s deputy chief of land use planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s really only \u003ca href=\"https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2017-10-30/burning-question-can-california-prevent-next-wildfire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">academics\u003c/a> who are discussing giving the state more control over where houses are built in fire prone areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They talk about that all the time,” he said. “‘They shouldn’t be building there, period,’ is what I’ve heard a few of the professors state. That’s easier said than done. Where do you put those folks? And how do you compensate them for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early October, workers were almost done framing Phil Azer’s replacement house on Andorra Lane. A small yellow sign in the front yard read, “Permits issued! Construction starting soon! Ventura strong!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Financially it made the most sense for us to rebuild,” Azer explained, because the insurance company would give him more money if he rebuilt than if he walked away and built a new house somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Azer’s experience — rebuilding in the same place, to the same building codes, is quite common — \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/115/13/3314\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a study published \u003c/a>earlier this year in the \u003cem>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \u003c/em>found rates of home construction are higher in the footprint of wildfires than in surrounding areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not changing our building patterns to become more fire resilient if we just put houses in the exact same places,” said Volker Radeloff, an ecologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the lead author of the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They may not burn a year or two later, but 10 to 20 years later, there will enough fuel for the next fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city and state officials are reluctant to do anything that would increase the cost of new housing. Yolanda Bundy, the chief building official with the city of Ventura, said she’s just not focused on changing local building codes or overhauling land use planning at the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, all the efforts are concentrated on helping people rebuild their homes, not to create more rules or regulations or more processes,” she told KPCC earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burned homes in “very high fire hazards severity zones” will be rebuilt according to the newest codes, and Bundy still considers that a big improvement since nearly all 777 of them were constructed before 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, new building codes are adopted \u003ca href=\"https://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/bsc/2018TriCycle/2018TriCycleTimeline-v01-03-2017.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">every three years. \u003c/a>That means lessons learned from the Thomas Fire will not be incorporated until the next round of code changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly playing catch up,” said Muñoa. “We’re trying to be proactive to see how we can make homes more survivable by adding additional code requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said, regulators also have to balance safety with cost. “Depending on the pushback we get from industry, we may or may not be successful in getting codes that we believe are going to be effective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What you can do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1917346/wildfires-can-attack-your-house-from-the-inside-heres-how-to-prevent-it\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">what should you do\u003c/a> if you live in a high fire risk area, or are rebuilding your house in one?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focus on the area 30 feet around your house, says Tom Welle with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/By-topic/Wildfire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National Fire Protection Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first five feet out from your foundation should be nearly bare, or only covered with non-flammable plants or landscaping.
