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.",

Some shops have re-opened, but off a main road, things look a lot like they did six months ago — a reminder of how hard this community is working to recover and how far it still has to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire began on Nov. 8, 2018 at 6:30 a.m. as a small vegetation fire under some PG&E power lines about seven miles from Paradise. It spread quickly, at one point, 80 acres per minute. That seven-mile gap vanished in less than 1.5 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then I realized how serious it was,\" says Doyle Biswell, a firefighter with Cal Fire. He says by 8 a.m., the sky was completely black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He made it up into Paradise before the single, four-lane road out of town got clogged with cars trying to flee. Essentially sealing off the town from first responders for about 12 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I kind of told my firefighters — we're it,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire was closing in, Biswell and his team could see it racing through the trees and hear propane tanks exploding. They knew they didn’t have time to save any buildings. They had to save people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was just one bad situation after another. Five people in wheelchairs were getting pushed up the street and their caregiver couldn’t get into her car. A group was standing in front of their home, refusing to leave. Biswell went car to car and door to door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember at one point evacuating people and was just screaming and chaos and people yelling at me people cussing at me, people crying,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembers one moment that still haunts him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we were driving and I see a house on my right hand side and a silhouette and there was a person standing looking at the house next door completely engulfed in fire,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He had to turn his truck around to avoid getting trapped. When he got back, the person was gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm pretty sure I know what the outcome was,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving through Paradise months later, Biswell says there's so much about this fire that was unprecedented. He still can’t wrap his head around it\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can't be the new normal, you don't sign up for this, this is destruction,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some shops have re-opened, but off a main road, things look a lot like they did six months ago — a reminder of how hard this community is working to recover and how far it still has to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire began on Nov. 8, 2018 at 6:30 a.m. as a small vegetation fire under some PG&E power lines about seven miles from Paradise. It spread quickly, at one point, 80 acres per minute. That seven-mile gap vanished in less than 1.5 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then I realized how serious it was,\" says Doyle Biswell, a firefighter with Cal Fire. He says by 8 a.m., the sky was completely black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He made it up into Paradise before the single, four-lane road out of town got clogged with cars trying to flee. Essentially sealing off the town from first responders for about 12 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Six months after the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, the town of Paradise remains a disaster zone. Only 6 percent of the debris from last November’s Camp Fire has been hauled away. Burned-out skeletons of cars, piles of toxic rubble and blackened old-growth pine trees can still be seen everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"paradise\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the wildfire, the population of Paradise was about 26,000. Today, it’s in the hundreds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of the latest crisis unfolding in Paradise is yet unknown: The deadly fire may also have contaminated up to 173 miles of pipeline in the town’s water system with cancer-causing benzene and other volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Preliminary results have shown contamination in about a third of the lines tested, though only about 2 percent of the entire system has been sampled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the water crisis is just the latest setback that has called into question whether the town is ready to reopen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have had no choice but to move back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As soon as the house was cleaned, our insurance company told us that we had to come home,” says Paradise resident Kyla Awalt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Awalt’s home off Bille Road is the only one still eerily standing in the rubble of what used to be her neighborhood. Her family had planned to move back, eventually. In January, though, they were notified that their “additional living expenses” had run out. But there was still no potable water in town then, nor is there today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They considered selling. But how do you put a home on the market if it doesn’t have any water?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t,” Awalt says. “That’s part of the inspection process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they bought a huge water tank, out of pocket, for $6,500. It’s sitting beneath the shade of an old walnut tree along the fence line of her property. On the other side of the fence is the rubble of what used to be her neighbor’s home. There are piles of debris and a couple of mangled, burnt lawn mowers waiting to be hauled away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Awalts spend $250 to fill the water tank every few weeks. It’s expensive, but it offers peace of mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of up to the homeowner,” Awalt says. “It’s on them to figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Paradise was known as a bedroom community as well as an affordable haven for retirees. Much of the population tended to skew lower income, and the idea that they’re now being left to fend for themselves is alarming to experts like Andrew Whelton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not protecting public health,” says Whelton, a civil engineer who built his career advising the U.S. military on how to restore water infrastructure after disasters. “That’s not what we’re supposed to be doing with a population that has gone under trauma like this; we’re supposed to help them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton, now at Purdue University, has recently been consulting with the town’s primary water supplier, the Paradise Irrigation District. The utility is trying to pinpoint the source of the contamination, whether it’s from burnt plastic pipes and meters or from the toxic waste from burnt structures that was flushed into the town’s water pipes. Much of the town’s housing stock was older and didn’t have back-flow protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The scale of the recovery effort and the testing that’s needed in my experience here will be unprecedented,” Whelton says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely unprecedented, but it’s also a warning to other cities in high-risk wildfire zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s manager, Kevin Phillips, says his staff is overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no playbook for a wildfire that destroys a town and you have a depressurization of a system that creates contamination,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are 10,500 service lines in the district’s system, which was built in the 1950s and already had a reputation of being outdated and haphazardly designed. Phillips says the plan is to prioritize testing in neighborhoods where homes are still standing and to shut down and isolate the contaminated places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system will take years to fix. The testing alone could take more than two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel like we are under the microscope of the nation right now, that we are going to be the reason why the town doesn’t rebuild. … If there’s no water, there’s no town,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Phillips says they won’t do anything hastily that would jeopardize public health. As more people try to move back, the utility hopes to buy and deliver tanks with potable water — a program that will hopefully begin later this month. But no one knows yet who will pay for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton worries that means folks living here will continue to be exposed to yet unknown risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740560\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11740560\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"899\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-1200x674.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paradise Irrigation District manager Kevin Phillips shows a sample of the town’s water pipes, which were frequently woven between underground root systems that were likely burned during the fire. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“In a disaster of this scale, that is one of the takeaways here,” he says. “In the absence of any credible authority providing help to a population, they will do what it takes to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, there are strict warnings that people moving back in should not drink or even boil the water, let alone use it for any household activity unless it has been tested.

Only 6 percent of the debris from last November’s Camp Fire has been hauled away. Burned-out skeletons of cars, piles of toxic rubble and blackened old-growth pine trees can still be seen everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the wildfire, the population of Paradise was about 26,000. Today, it’s in the hundreds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of the latest crisis unfolding in Paradise is yet unknown: The deadly fire may also have contaminated up to 173 miles of pipeline in the town’s water system with cancer-causing benzene and other volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Preliminary results have shown contamination in about a third of the lines tested, though only about 2 percent of the entire system has been sampled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the water crisis is just the latest setback that has called into question whether the town is ready to reopen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have had no choice but to move back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As soon as the house was cleaned, our insurance company told us that we had to come home,” says Paradise resident Kyla Awalt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Awalt’s home off Bille Road is the only one still eerily standing in the rubble of what used to be her neighborhood. Her family had planned to move back, eventually. In January, though, they were notified that their “additional living expenses” had run out. But there was still no potable water in town then, nor is there today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They considered selling. But how do you put a home on the market if it doesn’t have any water?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t,” Awalt says. “That’s part of the inspection process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they bought a huge water tank, out of pocket, for $6,500. It’s sitting beneath the shade of an old walnut tree along the fence line of her property. On the other side of the fence is the rubble of what used to be her neighbor’s home. There are piles of debris and a couple of mangled, burnt lawn mowers waiting to be hauled away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Awalts spend $250 to fill the water tank every few weeks. It’s expensive, but it offers peace of mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of up to the homeowner,” Awalt says. “It’s on them to figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Paradise was known as a bedroom community as well as an affordable haven for retirees. Much of the population tended to skew lower income, and the idea that they’re now being left to fend for themselves is alarming to experts like Andrew Whelton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not protecting public health,” says Whelton, a civil engineer who built his career advising the U.S. military on how to restore water infrastructure after disasters. “That’s not what we’re supposed to be doing with a population that has gone under trauma like this; we’re supposed to help them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton, now at Purdue University, has recently been consulting with the town’s primary water supplier, the Paradise Irrigation District. The utility is trying to pinpoint the source of the contamination, whether it’s from burnt plastic pipes and meters or from the toxic waste from burnt structures that was flushed into the town’s water pipes. Much of the town’s housing stock was older and didn’t have back-flow protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The scale of the recovery effort and the testing that’s needed in my experience here will be unprecedented,” Whelton says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely unprecedented, but it’s also a warning to other cities in high-risk wildfire zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s manager, Kevin Phillips, says his staff is overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no playbook for a wildfire that destroys a town and you have a depressurization of a system that creates contamination,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are 10,500 service lines in the district’s system, which was built in the 1950s and already had a reputation of being outdated and haphazardly designed. Phillips says the plan is to prioritize testing in neighborhoods where homes are still standing and to shut down and isolate the contaminated places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system will take years to fix. The testing alone could take more than two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel like we are under the microscope of the nation right now, that we are going to be the reason why the town doesn’t rebuild. … If there’s no water, there’s no town,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Phillips says they won’t do anything hastily that would jeopardize public health. As more people try to move back, the utility hopes to buy and deliver tanks with potable water — a program that will hopefully begin later this month. But no one knows yet who will pay for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton worries that means folks living here will continue to be exposed to yet unknown risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740560\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11740560\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"899\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-1200x674.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paradise Irrigation District manager Kevin Phillips shows a sample of the town’s water pipes, which were frequently woven between underground root systems that were likely burned during the fire. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“In a disaster of this scale, that is one of the takeaways here,” he says. “In the absence of any credible authority providing help to a population, they will do what it takes to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, there are strict warnings that people moving back in should not drink or even boil the water, let alone use it for any household activity unless it has been tested.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was the first in recent decades to deploy California National Guard troops as firefighters, dispatching them on July 4, 2008, after lightning storms sparked hundreds of fires, Guard Lt. Col. Jonathan Shiroma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many of the troops are being reassigned from the border this time, the Guard also is asking other service members if they want to participate, Shiroma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The training is similar for firefighting and fire protection. Mohler said the troops also will receive some training in forest management, “so they’re not just out there cutting brush” but understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, firefighting crews generally cut fire lines down to mineral earth during active wildfires, while fuels-management crews often do less intensive thinning of trees and chaparral to slow advancing flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such preventive treatment often involves creating fuel breaks, which can range from stripping away all woody vegetation on wide strips of land to thinning larger trees and removing shorter trees, brush and debris to discourage fires from climbing into treetops and jumping from tree to tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag='north-bay-fires' label='Coverage of the North Bay fires']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the work damages forests and can be useless against wind-driven fires, like the one that jumped a river to rain embers on the Sierra Nevada foothills community of Paradise last year, killing 85 people in and around the Northern California city of 27,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cal Fire is taking the Trump approach, logging the forest and weakening critical environmental protections, and that’s the exact opposite of what we need to be doing,” said Shaye Wolf, a scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolf said a better approach is to make homes more fire-resistant while pruning vegetation immediately surrounding the structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Cal Fire listed 35 fuel-reduction projects it wants to start immediately, covering more than 140 square miles — double the acreage in previous years. But state officials estimate 23,438 square miles of forestland need thinning or other restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a problem that’s going to get fixed overnight,” Mohler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such thinning operations are getting more attention in recent years, with the U.S. Forest Service estimating last month that 18 million trees died in California over the last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Mike Mohler, of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection']‘They will be boots on the ground doing fuels projects alongside Cal Fire crews.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency estimated that more than 147 million trees have died across nearly 15,625 square miles during a drought that began in 2010, while about 1.5 million dead trees have been cut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, investigations have often blamed recent wildfires on utilities not doing a good enough job of clearing vegetation around power lines and equipment. Democratic state Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa has proposed legislation that would require Cal Fire to tell utilities which trees and brush to remove and then inspect the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from Guard troops, Cal Fire also is creating 10 civilian fuels management crews this year. The 10-member crews could help with initial fire suppression if need be but will primarily reduce fuels, Mohler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be a pretty amazing sight to see as these crews get out there on the ground,” he said. “There’s hundreds of, unfortunately, Paradises cross the state, (so) the public needs to understand this.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

But for the few who do remain and are eager to begin rebuilding, Long sought to give them reassurances: you can’t just abandon a community that’s been a fixture in the Sierra Nevada foothills since the the 1800s, he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took 140 years to build Paradise and obviously things did survive, like the church here,” Long said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urban Design Associates also consulted for the state of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. And that’s what this still unfolding crisis is starting to be likened to: a rural Katrina. One big parallel emerging so far is anxiety over gentrification. Once Paradise is rebuilt, there’s resounding agreement it will have much tougher, fire-safe building codes.

Like a lot of western towns, it grew too quickly — without a lot of planning and scant zoning. Mobile home parks, tract houses, fast food restaurants were packed into overgrown forests. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Paradise, After the Camp Fire\" tag=\"paradise\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cathe Wood hopes something good will come out of all this. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a great opportunity up here for a complete reset,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Complete Reset, But Will it Be Affordable?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Paradise is not going to be the same as it was,” said Jody Jones, the town’s mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the recovery process moves forward, Jones and other town officials insist they’re trying to balance rebuilding smarter while also not mandating expensive changes. But they’ve never done this before and they’re learning as they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know that I can give any assurances it’s not going to be gentrified,” Jones said. “Because in some sense of the word what people mean by that is new, and everything we build is going to be new, it’s going to be different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is Paradise has time to get it right. The scale of this disaster is enormous, even just cleaning it up and removing all the hazardous debris could take more than a year. So it’s not as if the town can just be repopulated and rebuilt immediately as it was. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cleanup only began in earnest a couple weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thinking Big\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At another forum in nearby Chico, a group of third-year architecture students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo may have some answers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve put up poster boards showing architectural renderings of energy efficient, and “fire-wise” municipal buildings. There are proposed, newly redesigned, wider street grids for safer evacuations. And neighborhoods are drawn with more cleared out, open space between smaller, modern and up to code homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731318\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/image-from-ios-8-_sq-a11d05925eea1aa5ee08ac1d67eb32f37e8e55dd-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Third-year architecture student Alessandro Zanghi is proposing a new vocational college in Paradise, to train carpenters, plumbers and other trades that will be in high demand as the foothills town looks to rebuild.\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731318\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Third-year architecture student Alessandro Zanghi is proposing a new vocational college in Paradise, to train carpenters, plumbers and other trades that will be in high demand as the foothills town looks to rebuild. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few curious members of the public mingled around the presentation talking to students who said their models were still a work in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to figure out a different way to rearrange the town so that it better suits the inhabitants and brings new people to Paradise” said Allessandro Zanghi. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re calling it a “re-imagined Paradise.” The class typically consults for underserved communities. And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her class will soon hand over their plans to the town. After four long months of stress and anxiety in this community, the students hope the crisis can also be looked at as an opportunity for Paradise, and they want to help. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

But they’ve never done this before and they’re learning as they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know that I can give any assurances it’s not going to be gentrified,” Jones said. “Because in some sense of the word what people mean by that is new, and everything we build is going to be new, it’s going to be different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is Paradise has time to get it right. The scale of this disaster is enormous, even just cleaning it up and removing all the hazardous debris could take more than a year. So it’s not as if the town can just be repopulated and rebuilt immediately as it was. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cleanup only began in earnest a couple weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thinking Big\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At another forum in nearby Chico, a group of third-year architecture students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo may have some answers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve put up poster boards showing architectural renderings of energy efficient, and “fire-wise” municipal buildings.

And when the Camp Fire happened, the curriculum was re-designed to cater to Paradise and surrounding burnt-out towns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Zanghi, it’s been a challenge trying to redesign proposals that preserve Paradise’s rural character. But he said it’s a misnomer that rebuilding or redeveloping a mountain community like this will result in a more expensive town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important to have architecture be more than just luxury high rises,” Zanghi said. “It should be things that help a community grow and flourish.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affordability and gentrification are some of the more heated topics emerging so far in the town’s preliminary discussions. At some cantankerous city council meetings, fire survivors have argued with officials over whether they could put campers on burnt-out properties and how FEMA resources will be allocated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students’ instructor, Stacey White, said those are tough conversations that have to happen. But what’s going on here is separate. These kids can take the time to take a 30,000 foot view of the rebuilding project and hopefully inspire a little hope for the community amid all the other setbacks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But [these] students have an ability to step back and think, ‘what if we did this right?’,” White said. “They’re focused on affordability, resiliency and permanence; really investing in the place so we don’t relive this again in ten years.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Tom and Tamara Conry were dead set on returning to Paradise after the deadly Camp Fire destroyed the town last November. The couple’s home was barely touched by the fire, and most other survivors had a much steeper climb to recovery. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when their property insurer, American Reliable, notified them in December that it wasn’t renewing the couple’s homeowner’s coverage, they realized that returning home would be even harder than expected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that letter was like a slap in the face,” Tamara Conry said. “Right now, when it’s going to be the hardest time ever to get insurance at any kind of reasonable price, that’s when you non-renew us?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other families in Butte County could face a similar insurance dilemma. About 10 percent of buildings in Paradise are still standing after last November’s wildfire, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though a new California law that took effect in January requires insurers to renew homeowner’s coverage on properties that survived wildfires for at least one year, the new law doesn’t help people affected by last year’s fire disasters like the Conrys. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their situation can almost be worse, sometimes, than people whose homes are gone,” said Amy Bach, executive director of the consumer advocacy group United Policyholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re sort of competing with the total loss victims for attention and dollars, but they also don’t have the same protection that a total loss victim has to keep their insurance,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom and Tamara Conry are now living in a rental apartment in Yuba City, about an hour south of Paradise, because their home is still contaminated by smoke. Their back deck was also scorched. American Reliable covered their hotel after the couple evacuated and is now paying for their temporary rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the news that the insurance company wasn’t renewing their coverage has just added to the headache of making their home livable again, the Conrys say.

We will definitely be way more prepared than before, the previous two times,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says this is home, where the memories are: “it was our life, it was the center of our family.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Huffs had applied for a permit to camp out here on their five acres while they wait to rebuild, but were notified they can’t now, at least until the government has cleaned up the site and certified it as safe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was another setback. For now they’ll have to keep living where they’ve lived the past three long months — in a camper in his sister’s driveway down in Chico. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
