S1, E1: Introducing California Burns, the Podcast

Join us for a new podcast looking into the issue of wildfires in California. This initial podcast will introduce you to the themes to be covered, the importance of preparedness, and how wildfires affect all of us. Wildfire is a danger to anyone living in the Wildland Urban Interface, and during the past 30 years, humans have expanded the WUI almost beyond comprehension. This influx of people into areas that were once trees, trails, and creeks creates a new type of threat to nature, to newly constructed property, and of course, to humans and their pets. The impact on wildlife is also dramatic, as their habitats have not only been impacted by construction, but there's often no place to go when a wildfire erupts, except maybe a freeway. So tune in, take some notes, call a friend, and become part of our audience as we share some of the most important factors involving wildfire in California.
