Listen to this note:
Many of us who are over 30 and who were lucky enough to live with our grandparents surely remember those conversations where they tell us what the place they lived in was like, how they could accurately predict the rainy season, when they sowed or harvested. Rarely, or as an occasional topic, they remembered the occasional deluge or flood, not to mention large forest fires. Today, it is daily bread.
Gone are the days of accurate forecasts without resorting to technology; today it is necessary to have the precise tools to forecast and know when, due to weather or fire conditions, it is necessary to evacuate our homes and seek shelter. However, it is necessary to be prepared.
Not long ago, San Mateo County Emergency Management Director Shruti Dhapodkar told a local media outlet that the EA is “a Disneyland of disasters,” a term that I believe is incorrect for what we are experiencing, as it is far from the smiles and fun that the famous amusement park seeks to provide its visitors.
California suffers from (almost) everything: earthquakes, massive wildfires, floods, winter storms, hurricanes. So you have to count on each of the 58 counties that make up California.
