"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.",

The company's stock has lost about 60 percent of its value in the past three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility also announced Tuesday in a regulatory filing that Patrick Hogan, senior vice president of the electric operations unit, will be replaced by Michael Lewis, who has served as vice president of electric distribution operations at the utility. Hogan will retire from the utility on Jan. 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is contending with potentially crippling liability costs related to Butte County's Camp Fire, which killed 86 and destroyed more than 15,000 homes in and around the town of Paradise, making it the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. No cause has been determined, but Cal Fire investigators are looking into the potential it was sparked by PG&E equipment. The utility reported to the California Public Utilities Commission of two power outages on transmission lines shortly before the Camp Fire began on the morning of Nov. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716007/devastating-wildfires-force-pge-to-plan-sale-of-gas-assets\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR reported Friday\u003c/a> that PG&E was exploring means to cover its potentially huge liability costs, including selling off its natural gas division and key real estate assets, like its San Francisco headquarters. NPR reported that proceeds from the sale of PG&E's gas division would be used to set up a fund to pay billions of dollars in potential claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There's a dried-up bowl of oatmeal,” says Kari. “It's cream of wheat with raspberries,” Steve says, remembering his last breakfast there. Their bed is unmade, covers turned back, like someone had just woken up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's bizarre, but the smell is about the only thing wrong with the home. While almost everything around them lies in ruins. Kari says she has mixed feelings about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not super-excited that it's standing. But, I just think; I’m going to start crying,” Kari says, her voice breaking. “It limits our choices. Most of our friends are leaving and not rebuilding.” Her mother lost her house, as did many people they knew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because their house is still there, they won't get to claim a total loss on their insurance, likely just smoke damage. And because of that, they can’t decide to rebuild or move somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They feel bad saying this, because of all the people they know who lost everything. But when you look around their charred neighborhood, it’s hard to imagine living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they could leave, would they?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now? Probably. It's really hard, because all of my family's lost their homes, our friends, too. So it's kind of like, our Paradise? It's gone,” says Kari.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple can't move back yet, because of the smoke damage and lack of utilities. So, they're living in a single-wide mobile home with friends in Chico for the foreseeable future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was one thing Steve had to get from the house before they headed back to Chico. He points to a suitcase. \"It's very dear to me this time of year.

The Stanford class analyzed daily reports from the most expensive fires in every state from 2014 to 2017, and found that dense development at the border of wildlands — in communities like Paradise, Cobb, and Santa Rosa — helps explain California fires’ exceptional damage and expense to put out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 federal audit showed that fire suppression costs vastly more in these transition zones between wild and developed areas — Wildland Urban Interface areas, or WUIs, for short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stanford analysis of fire costs found that, among the states that spend the most on suppression, California fires overlapped far more with the WUI: More than 30 percent of the 2015 Butte Fire, for example, burned on WUI lands, destroying almost 1,000 buildings. Much of the state’s WUI is made up of chaparral — dry shrubland — that burns fast and hot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Policymakers differ on how state and local governments should intervene. But experts like Tom Harbour — who served as National Director of Fire and Aviation Management before retiring from the U.S. Forest Service in 2016 — agree that the growth of WUI has fueled a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve taken a lot of land in [California] … that used to be ponderosa pine down near the bottoms of these drainages … and now you put homes in there,” Harbour said. “Well, the pine trees are still there. The bitterbrush is still there. The sagebrush is still there. The desire that Mother Nature has to burn is still there.

The Stanford class analyzed daily reports from the most expensive fires in every state from 2014 to 2017, and found that dense development at the border of wildlands — in communities like Paradise, Cobb, and Santa Rosa — helps explain California fires’ exceptional damage and expense to put out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 federal audit showed that fire suppression costs vastly more in these transition zones between wild and developed areas — Wildland Urban Interface areas, or WUIs, for short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stanford analysis of fire costs found that, among the states that spend the most on suppression, California fires overlapped far more with the WUI: More than 30 percent of the 2015 Butte Fire, for example, burned on WUI lands, destroying almost 1,000 buildings. Much of the state’s WUI is made up of chaparral — dry shrubland — that burns fast and hot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Policymakers differ on how state and local governments should intervene. But experts like Tom Harbour — who served as National Director of Fire and Aviation Management before retiring from the U.S. Forest Service in 2016 — agree that the growth of WUI has fueled a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve taken a lot of land in [California] … that used to be ponderosa pine down near the bottoms of these drainages … and now you put homes in there,” Harbour said. “Well, the pine trees are still there.

While California Senate Bill 901 focused primarily on forest management and the liabilities of utilities, the measure also puts “a little bit more teeth” into community planning guidelines for fire-prone areas, said Cal Fire researcher Dave Sapsis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 2021, local governments in areas with very high chances of fire will have to take more precautions previously required only for state lands — for example, ensuring that roads are wide enough for evacuation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some experts doubt SB 901’s changes will be enough to prevent the kind of widespread destruction the state has experienced in the WUI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller believes one solution is for communities to establish programs, funded through municipal bonds, to buy up wild borderlands from willing private owners and limit development within them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But local governments have had little financial incentive to prevent development: turning away new residents reduces their tax revenue, while state and federal agencies tend to bear the costs of wildfire suppression, said Kimiko Barrett, a researcher at Montana-based think tank Headwaters Economics who has studied WUI and fire risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s what we call a moral hazard … [Cities are] able to approve certain decision-making processes without having to pay the consequences of those decisions,” Barrett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State legislators have been reluctant to intervene in planning issues they consider the province of local governments, but some policymakers are exploring further statewide legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11713420 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"962\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER.png 962w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-160x160.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-800x798.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-960x958.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-240x240.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-375x374.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-520x519.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-32x32.png 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-50x50.png 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-64x64.png 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-96x96.png 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-128x128.png 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Cal-is-Burning-BORDER-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, who co-chaired the development of SB 901, may introduce new legislation early in 2019, according to his spokesman Garo Manjikian.\u003cbr>\nMeanwhile, legislation passed in 2018 authorized the California Department of Insurance to create a “working group” to investigate potential market-based solutions to curb development in fire-prone rural areas. Yet no timetable has been established for their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The glacial pace of legislative action leaves experts frustrated. On Nov. 29, University of California at Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment (CLEE) and the nonprofit Resources Legacy Fund released their joint recommendations for incoming Gov. Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included was a proposal to create a wildfire-focused leadership position within the governor’s office. The appointee would be charged with “developing and implementing state incentives for local governments to limit new development in high-risk areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the state needs to play a stepped up role coordinating all the different agencies involved, trying to marshal the funding to do it, and then also trying to change local government land use decision-making,” said Ethan Elkind, director of CLEE’s climate program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even those knowledgeable about fires find it difficult to resist the call of the wildlands. Ron Beeny, the firefighter who escaped last month’s Camp Fire, said he liked Paradise precisely because of its natural beauty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just like the mountains. We like the trees,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of his career Beeny was an engineer, driving a fire engine to fires of all kinds. He was frequently a first responder, fighting hundreds of fires over many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the morning the Camp Fire blazed into Paradise, his emergency plan was the same as everyone else’s: “Get the hell out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Beeny thought he would rebuild his home in Paradise, but his son is encouraging him to settle elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s not sure yet where he will land — Oregon is at the top of his list. But wherever he ends up, he will probably live in the WUI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know how ridiculous it sounds,” he said. “But that’s the kind of country we like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Story by Joe Dworetzky, Irena Fischer-Hwang, Jay Harris, Hannah Knowles and Emily Surgent\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story comes from a Stanford University class affiliated with the Big Local News project. Journalists collected, processed and analyzed data on the cost of wildfires across California and the U.S. to produce this report.

Her mom Kate was her troop leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when the Camp Fire ripped through Paradise last month, Kate put out the call to troops in Los Angeles County looking for donations to help fire survivors at Autumn’s church in Paradise, Hope Christian Church, which was destroyed in the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone wanted to help, but no one wanted to be in charge of actually gathering and delivering the donations. So Kate and Autumn took it on. They expanded the call beyond the Girl Scout community and created a Facebook group to find out what church members — around 300 before the fire — said they needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kate and Autumn decided to package the donations into the form of suitcases, filling them with clothes, shoes, books and toys, all specifically requested by church members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole point with the suitcase is that we understand [survivors] don’t have houses and places to put [things],” Autumn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One item that has been in particular high demand are gas cards, since survivors have had to drive significant distances since being displaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the problems is that people needed specific things, and Kate and Autumn have been able to provide them,” said Stan Freitas, lead pastor of Hope Christian Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Autumn was sleeping over at her friend’s house in Paradise when the fire erupted. She said she barely escaped with her friends after her boyfriend and others kept calling them and telling them to evacuate. She says they didn’t receive any official evacuation warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until last year, Autumn lived in Paradise with her grandmother. The fire destroyed that house, but her grandmother was able to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Autumn now lives in an apartment in Chico where she moved to be closer to Butte College, where she goes to school.

Her mom Kate was her troop leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when the Camp Fire ripped through Paradise last month, Kate put out the call to troops in Los Angeles County looking for donations to help fire survivors at Autumn’s church in Paradise, Hope Christian Church, which was destroyed in the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone wanted to help, but no one wanted to be in charge of actually gathering and delivering the donations. So Kate and Autumn took it on. They expanded the call beyond the Girl Scout community and created a Facebook group to find out what church members — around 300 before the fire — said they needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kate and Autumn decided to package the donations into the form of suitcases, filling them with clothes, shoes, books and toys, all specifically requested by church members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole point with the suitcase is that we understand [survivors] don’t have houses and places to put [things],” Autumn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
