"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.",

In September, major heat waves further dried out fuels. Plus, parts of coastal Southern California have seen the driest and hottest start to winter on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12020765 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008230498824-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swain said that much of the area has burned due to having “the most thirsty atmosphere on record since October 1st.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These conditions created the perfect scenario for a wildfire to grow out of control and spread into populated areas. The fires became uncontrollable when Santa Ana winds — common for the winter but especially extreme this week — picked up. Winds across the foothills and valleys were \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=pnslox\">as strong as 70 mph\u003c/a>, with gusts touching 100 mph higher in the mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Southern California fires remind Swain of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837188/how-could-this-happen-twice-camp-fire-survivors-who-moved-away-relive-wildfire-trauma\">Camp Fire\u003c/a>, which leveled the town of Paradise near Chico in 2018 and was the deadliest fire in California history, killing 85 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the same story of what happened in Paradise,” he said. “That occurred in November in Northern California in a very wet part of the state that hadn’t yet received seasonal precipitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swain sees clear links between human-caused climate change — driving extreme dry fuel conditions and record warmth — and the fires raging in Southern California. A warming world means wetter wet periods, hotter temperatures, and more extreme droughts. This flip-flopping, both at the sub-seasonal and interannual levels, will stoke wildfires when ignited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just that drier conditions are perpetually more likely in a warming climate; it’s that this oscillation back and forth between states is something that is particularly consequential for wildfire risk in Southern California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a warming climate where global emissions continue to rise, he said, “there’s every indication” that the wettest years will become even more soaked, summers will continue to warm, and autumn will get drier, which means that this cycle of Southern California burning could likely be commonplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The fires became uncontrollable when Santa Ana winds — common for the winter but especially extreme this week — picked up.

As Southern California prepares for dangerous fire conditions, Northern California will almost certainly be spared any late-season blazes, thanks to rainy months at the end of 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of a series of rainfall events just back to back, and then we had our atmospheric over a while ago … even though we are going into a drier weather pattern, the fuels aren’t of concern right now,” said Crystal Oudit, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this week’s winds pose a significant fire risk in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, “there is virtually zero risk of a dangerous wildfire in Northern California,” UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain said during his YouTube livestream Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just too damp,” he continued. “In fact, Northern California will benefit from a period of finally sunny and drier conditions after a very wet spell.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s thanks to the “precipitation dipole,” which has affected the state since the fall.

Hundreds of thousands, if not perhaps over a million people, could end up seeing power outages through a combination of preemptive safety shut-offs to reduce risk or actual unintended power outages,” Swain said. “There will be a lot of downed trees. Hopefully, not too many downed power lines, but that’s a real risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All in all, a pretty challenging situation for Southern California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, 20- to 30-mph winds blowing north to northeast will likely bring a welcome temperature hike and could clear up some of the dense fog many people woke up to Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the NWS is urging people in the Bay Area to prepare. A wind advisory has been issued for Tuesday and early Wednesday for the higher-elevation areas of the North, East, and South Bays, as well as the San Francisco Peninsula, where gusts could reach 50 mph and cause power outages or traffic disruptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oudit recommends that people secure outdoor objects, such as umbrellas and outdoor furniture; charge electronic devices; and check social media and the National Weather Service website for updates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The results largely mirrored prior findings from previous iterations of the annual report, showing that police are more likely to stop and use force against Black, Native American and Latino Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the latest report also found those trends persistent across age groups, with police disproportionately stopping, searching and using force against young people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The racial disparities of policing stops, searches and use of force of youth is alarming,” said Andrea Guerrero, co-chair of the RIPA Board and executive director of the community organization Alliance San Diego. “This is California’s version of stop and frisk that causes immeasurable harm to the community and erodes trust in law enforcement from a young age.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stop Disparities by Race/Ethnicity in 2023\" aria-label=\"Grouped Bars\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-gKvGj\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/gKvGj/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"800\" height=\"605\" data-external=\"1\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young Californians who are driving, biking or walking and perceived by officers to be Black, Latino or Native American are more frequently stopped, asked to consent to a search, handcuffed, sat on the curb, put in a police car and questioned for information that is recorded on a field interview card before they are released, Guerrero said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Youth ages 18-24 experienced the highest average number of stops and actions taken by police, while those ages 12-14 were most likely to be searched, handcuffed and detained during a stop. Black and Native American youth were the most likely to be placed in handcuffs by officers or have a firearm pointed at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12014926 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/082823_Alameda-Police-Chief_SN_CM_17-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, people perceived as transgender were arrested at nearly double the rate of those perceived as cisgender, meaning they identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for public safety and racial justice say that the trends are extremely concerning because negative interactions with law enforcement from a young age are associated with lower educational outcomes and a higher likelihood of being involved in the criminal justice system as an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report makes several recommendations for local law enforcement agencies to begin to address some of the longstanding disparities and outcomes in policing. Those include working more closely with community-based organizations to find \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985965/we-approach-in-peace-are-barts-outreach-efforts-to-help-people-in-crisis-working\">alternatives to police force\u003c/a> when dealing with youth in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature, agencies, and municipalities should explore how limiting officer discretion in stops could reduce racial disparities and make specific findings from their study to act on,” the report recommendations read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also recommends tangible changes like requiring law enforcement officers to regularly complete more specialized training on racial bias and profiling, mandating body-worn cameras and using examples gathered from real cases for training, and improving local and state policies on civilian complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The annual collection of RIPA stop data is one part of our broader effort to increase public safety for all Californians,” said Attorney General Rob Bonta in a statement. “Through the analysis of stop data and recommendations for thoughtful reforms, we’re continuing to strengthen trust between local law enforcement and the communities they serve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: In the original version of the above chart, population and police-stop data for California’s Asian population were flipped.
